Customize UI login to show Username instead of E-Mail

specimen151 · September 10, 2025, 11:15am

I have created my own auth-provider, which inherits from CredentialsAuthProvider.
I am using username + password, but the ServiceStack UI login dialog says “e-mail”, which is wrong.
Where can I override the label to say Username instead of Email?

You’ll want to override your FormLayout, this is the default:

github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack

ServiceStack/src/ServiceStack/Auth/CredentialsAuthProvider.cs

          protected virtual void Init()
          {
              Sort = -1;
              Label = Provider.ToPascalCase();
              FormLayout =
              [
                  Input.For<Authenticate>(x => x.UserName, c =>
                  {
                      c.Label = "Email address";
                      c.Required = true;
                  }),
          
                  Input.For<Authenticate>(x => x.Password, c =>
                  {
                      c.Type = "Password";
                      c.Required = true;
                  }),
          
                  Input.For<Authenticate>(x => x.RememberMe)
              ];
          }
