What file handles registration

When a user registers with a username that already exists, it displays an error saying “the username is already in use”. What file handles that functionality?

Thanks

The register process is part of WordPress.

For BP, you can see in
\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\register.php

…but !

the username is already in use is not part of WP or BP.
Do you use an extra plugin ?

Is the BP part making sure that username is unique?

Thanks, but I can’t find the path “BuddyPress/src/bp-members/bp-members-functions.php”
Where is it located?

In the plugin !

wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-functions.php

Thank you, I found it.

Is it possible to make the same function work for display name?

I have read it and tried it, but it didn’t work.
