this is what man pages say on OpenBSD

username
It is recommended that login names contain only lowercase charac-
ters and digits. They may also contain uppercase characters,
non-leading hyphens, periods, underscores, and a trailing `$'.
Login names may not be longer than 31 characters. If you need a
longer login name for e-mail addresses, you can define an alias
in /etc/mail/aliases.
