You can use JavaScript to validate on lose focus of the username field. Here is an easy example for reference https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/1104856/Validate-Email-ID-in-ASP-NET-TextBox-using-JavaScr

Thank you for your reply. I am using Identity and it is functionality of Identity to avoid duplication user name / email. I want to use that but only for username not email.
