What version of ASP.NET Identity are you using? I earlier versions, the username only allowed alphanumeric characters.

You can override it via the UserValidator property of the UserManager like this:

UserManager.UserValidator = new UserValidator<ApplicationUser>(UserManager){ AllowOnlyAlphanumericUserNames = false };
