Being Able To Login Using UserName or Email address in ASP.NET Core MVC

I want user to be able to login using UserName or Email in ASP.NET Core MVC. In case of using the [Required] attribute, both the UserName and the Email must be entered in the model properties during login. While doing the form validation on the server-side, I need to perform model validation before accessing the data access layer in the application where the N-Tier architecture is implemented.

namespace LoginApplication.WebUI.Models  
{  
    public class LoginModel  
    {  
        /// <summary>Which data annotation attribute should I use?</summary>  
        public string UserName { get; set; }  
  
        /// <summary>Which data annotation attribute should I use?</summary>  
        public string Email { get; set; }  
  
        [Required]  
        [DataType(DataType.Password)]  
        public string Password { get; set; }  
    }  
}  
  
namespace LoginApplication.WebUI.Controllers  
{  
    public class AccountController : Controller  
    {  
     /* Other LOCs: Dependency Injection, "Login" Action HttpGet Method */  
  
        [HttpPost]  
        public async Task<IActionResult> Login(LoginModel model)  
        {  
            /* At this stage I need to validate the model correctly. */  
            if(ModelState.IsValid)  
            {  
                /* Other LOCs: User Query, Password Authentication, Page Redirection  
                               Error Message Management, Log Management */  
            }  
            return View(model);  
        }  
    }  
}  

In this case, what attribute should I use defined in the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations namespace? Or is there another way to work around this situation?

    Just allow the user to use their email as username. Trivial with a little javascript and a checkbox.

    public class SignInViewModel
    {
        [Required]
    
        [Display(Name = "Kullanıcı Adı / Şifre")]
        public string Email { get; set; }
    
    
        [Required]
        [DataType(DataType.Password)]
        public string Password { get; set; }
    
        [Display(Name = "Seni Hatırlayalım mı ?")]
        public bool RememberMe { get; set; }
    
    }
    
    [Route("/giris")]
    [Route("/login")]
    [HttpPost]
    [AllowAnonymous]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public async Task<IActionResult> Giris(SignInViewModel model, string returnUrl = null)
    {
        returnUrl = returnUrl ?? Url.Content("~/");
        if (model.Email.IndexOf('@') > -1)
        {
            //E POSTA DOĞRULAMA  
            string emailRegex = @"^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}" +
                                   @"\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\" +
                                      @".)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$";
            Regex re = new Regex(emailRegex);
            if (!re.IsMatch(model.Email))
            {
                ModelState.AddModelError("EPosta", "E-Posta doğrulanamadı");
            }
        }
        else
        {
            //KULLANICI ADI DOĞRULAMA
            string emailRegex = @"^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$";
            Regex re = new Regex(emailRegex);
            if (!re.IsMatch(model.Email))
            {
                ModelState.AddModelError("EPosta", "kullanıcı adı doğrulanamadı");
            }
        }
    
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            var userName = model.Email;
            if (userName.IndexOf('@') > -1)
            {
                var user = await _userManager.FindByEmailAsync(model.Email);
                if (user == null)
                {
                    ModelState.AddModelError("", "değişik bir hata meydana geldi.");
                    return View(model);
                }
                else
                {
                    userName = user.UserName;
                }
            }
            var result =
                await _signInManager.PasswordSignInAsync(userName, model.Password, model.RememberMe, lockoutOnFailure: true);
    

    hatalı giriş sonucu kullanıcı kilitleme aktif değilse

    lockoutOnFailure false yapabilirsiniz.
