Why do I have two different Spotify usernames?

hinckley39 · 2017-10-08

I did not connect with Facebook, but I have a username I entered but another one that is some ridiculous alphabet soup. I'm really annoyed that I haven't even started using the service yet but I'm pouring over Google trying to find what on Earth can be causing this. Because I have time to waste!

Hey @hinckley39,

It sounds like you were able to add a display name to your account when signing up. Your username on your user profile will still show as the name you specified, and any playlists made by you will show as made by that name too.

Hope this helps to clear things up. If you have any other questions, let me know.
