Hi there @1zink,
Thanks for asking about this!
First thing's first - the username of an existing Spotify account cannot be changed. If you decide to create a new account, a username combining numbers and letters will be created automatically. This is happening due to security reasons.
You will however, have a display name as well. This is the one all users will see when they come across your account. You can choose a display name in the 'What should we call you?' field during sign up.
Also, no worries - you won't lose your music. If you wish to have a different username, you must create a new account and you can transfer all of your music to it. You can read more about it here.
Last but not least - it's very important that you cancel your subscription on your previous account and subscribe to Premium on the new account. If you have subscribed to Spotify through a partner of ours, you must reach out to them so they can fix this for you.
We hope this info helps. Feel free to answer @OneByBoo's questions and let us know if you need more help.
Keep us posted!
Hi there @1zink,
thanks for reaching out to the community !
Could you care to explain a little bit more about this :
- Is the account created via a third party company ?
- Are you the one who holds the credentials to the account ?
- Which codes are you getting ? gift cards ? promotional codes ?
- Do you want to have a separate new account ?
Thanks for your cooperation 🙂
