My Question or Issue
Good evening,
I just set up my Spotify account, and I was surprised to see my username as a jumble of characters. While I understand this is a security measure, I could have sworn I chose a name while making my account beforehand. Is there any way I can get my "selected" name on my account instead.
And as the title says, I am not using Facebook. I never made an account on that site and I never will.
Thank you.
Hi there @DabbingCavalier,
thanks for reaching out to the community !
As you mentioned, Spotify generates a number as an internal username for security reasons.
However, you can always use the username you've chosen to log in + whenever other users look you up, they will view your initaily chosen username.
If you can't see it now and as you mentioned just creating the account, give it a few more hours to adjust.
If you'd like for me to look you up and send a screenshot on how it looks on another users side, feel free to do so.
Keep me posted 🙂
I'll keep you posted. Thank you.
Good afternoon,
