Probably the problem is the use of non-alphanumeric characters in username. If so use this

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

@user3013083 You can use a custom membership provider – Hessam Nov 25 '13 at 09:54
