HI,

If you registering new user through oauth2 you should be able to set strict username for example “username part of the email attribute”  
It is described in [https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/administration/config-cheat-sheet/](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/config-cheat-sheet/#oauth2-client-oauth2_client)  
But all I got is empty Username field which you can fill anything.  
My app.ini config:

[oauth2\_client]  
USERNAME = email

[service]  
REGISTER\_EMAIL\_CONFIRM = true  
ENABLE\_NOTIFY\_MAIL = false  
DISABLE\_REGISTRATION = false  
ALLOW\_ONLY\_EXTERNAL\_REGISTRATION = true  
ENABLE\_CAPTCHA = false  
REQUIRE\_SIGNIN\_VIEW = false  
DEFAULT\_KEEP\_EMAIL\_PRIVATE = false  
DEFAULT\_ALLOW\_CREATE\_ORGANIZATION = false  
DEFAULT\_ENABLE\_TIMETRACKING = true

Is my config wrong or is it bug? it looks to me like a bug.  
go-gitea 1.14.1
