https://labs.convex.dev/auth/config/passwords#customize-user-information might get you part of the way there -- swapping out email for username might be kind of involved since I think the current provider is geared towards email.
https://github.com/get-convex/convex-auth/blob/main/src/providers/Password.ts is the existing implementation and shows some of the pieces you might want (e.g.
modifyAccountCredentials for changing passwords)GitHub

when calling this function what's the id field supposed to be?
i've tried with the email, userId, accountId but always get a convex error saying "cannot modify account with ID X because it does not exist"
nvm, just solved it. i misspelled the provider (accidentally put a capital P in password)
so basically i am using the default email field as a username instead, because there are no default validation checks for the email so i can just treat them as usernames because the logic is the same. users will signup, signin and visualize usernames even if in the db they are stored as email (not greatly intuitive but it works).
and managed to handle password modification using the
modifyAccountCredentials function
