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,

 

It's been 2 days since I made my account and it's still the Security code. Now what do I do?

Hey there @DabbingCavalier,

 

Thanks for trying with a new account!
