Forgot password by username says email is not valid

When trying to change a password using a username (which is not in an email format), it’s giving the error “Email is not valid.” It looks like the form is forcing the username to be in an email format:

How do I get around this?

Hi @autumn.evans

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

This error most likely occurs because the Database Connection is only accepting Email as an Attribute and does not accept Username. To overcome this, you will need to add Username as an attribute, please find the relevant steps in the following documentation.

Hope this helped!
