username isn’t a standard OIDC claim. So the Auth0 Universal Form (w/username, email, and password fields) returns the local-part of the email as the nickname. This is inconvenient when the client is relying on username data after the form is submitted. One solution is to use a Pre User Registration Flow - setting nickname equal to username.

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed. I am very confused why Auth0 seems to state that this shouldn't be needed, when it definitely is.
No problem! The other alternative that I've seen implemented uses the Auth0 Management API in server-side code to fetch the username at the start of a user session.
Thank you so much! This should really be fixed in auth0. Drove me insane.
nice! 👍
