- **Problem Statement:** Weak username validation allows for usernames with only special characters, impacting platform security.
- **Significance:** Enhancing username validation is crucial for improving platform security and user identification.
- **Proposed Solution:** Implement a stronger Regex pattern `^[A-Za-z0-9]{1}[A-Za-z0-9.-]{2,29}$` for username validation.
- **Expected Outcomes:** Improved platform security, better user identification, and reduced risk of malicious activities.
