I am attempting to follow the quickstart for a Regular Web App with Node JS / passport-auth0. However, when I configure my database to require a username the username does not appear to returned to the application from auth0. For example when attempting to output the profile data from req.user in the /user route as in the quickstart tutorial. I want to be able to display the username within the application e.g. “Posted by ” I have configured my database connection to require a username. The signup form requires the username field and users are able to login with their username in addition to their email address as expected. I can see the username for that user within the Auth0 admin dashboard. But my application itself does not seem to have access to the username. I thought this would be pretty straightforward - I don’t understand what the issue could be. ---

I’m following this tutorial / quickstart: [Auth0 Express SDK Quickstarts: Login](https://auth0.com/docs/quickstart/webapp/nodejs/01-login) with the exception that I’m also trying to extract the username in my /user route - but username doesn’t appear to be included in any of the user profile information ---

Thanks for reporting that @cpw1485! In order to handle that most effectively I would like to work on it with the quickstart maintainers. Can you copy-paste the context you provided and create aa GitHub issue in the quickstart repo? > **[GitHub - auth0-samples/auth0-nodejs-webapp-sample: Auth0 Integration Samples...](https://github.com/auth0-samples/auth0-nodejs-webapp-sample)** > > Auth0 Integration Samples for Node Web Applications - GitHub - auth0-samples/auth0-nodejs-webapp-sample: Auth0 Integration Samples for Node Web Applications Once you do that please share the link to the GitHub issue fo we can ping maintainers about that. Thank you! ---
