I am using the default sql membership provider with ASP.NET and I would like to provide a page to change the user's username. I believe I am sure I could do this with a custom provider, but can this be done with the default provider?
Second part of my question is: Should I allow users to change their username after the account is created?
It's true that the default SQL Membership Provider does not allow username changes. However, there's no intrinsic reason to prevent users from changing their usernames if you have a valid argument, on your site, to allow it. None of the tables in the SQL database have the username as a key, everything is based on the user's ID, so from an implementation perspective it would be fairly easy.
