By default, Drupal 9 allows usernames to have spaces, periods(.), hyphens(-), apostrophes('), underscores(_) and @ symbols.
How would I disallow spaces, periods, apostrophes and @ symbols?

1Maybe User Name Validation module or User Restrictions module can help.– Patrick KennyFeb 9, 2022 at 5:29

Thanks Patrick. Looks like the User Name Validation module does exactly what I need.– cofihouseFeb 9, 2022 at 5:42

Great. If it works for you, feel free to answer your own question with the details of how you configured the module.– Patrick KennyFeb 9, 2022 at 5:52

I used the Username Validation module suggested by Patrick Kenny in his comment. The Blacklist characters field shown by the module on /admin/config/people/user-name-validation did the trick.

There are also a LOT of other questions on here that ask the same or similar question. See the "Related" block to the right -> Feb 9, 2022 at 6:02

All of those questions are outdated or have nothing to do with the question of disallowing characters. I did search the website first before posting. Now admittedly, I didn't search "validation" when googling, which is probably why I didn't find the module that solved my problem. Feb 9, 2022 at 6:12
