Store the long username in a user meta

  • I install the plugin on the site for registration in Russian(Allow Cyrillic Usernames) and now I need to change in the sql database, in the table wp_users, in the column user_nicename permission to write more characters from by default 50 to 255 because can only register with a name that contains 8 Cyrillic letters.
    Found in net tip:
    I recommend you to store the long username in a user meta and then you use this filter to authenticate the user : codex.www.ads-software.com/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/authenticate
    and this one comment for tip above:
    You correctly told. It is not recommended to change the WordPress kernel, because When updating a non-standard kernel, everything can return to its previous state (this is at best).
    You were advised to save the long name in the user’s meta field (via update_user_meta) and use it, substituting the value through the authenticate filter to which you were given a link (get the value via get_user_meta and change $ username in the filter).
    How to do this if I’m not a specialist in programming?
