Change Username?

[ColonelPanicky]

Hi, I'm trying to change my username (blame my fat fingers when registering!)- searching, I saw a guide from Dec 2018 showing how to do this, but there no longer seems to be an option 😞 It's annoying, as you cant create a new account as it's linked to your Samsung Account! Does anyone know if you can change your username, and if so, how?

Many Thanks!

I had the similar issue when I  joined too @ColonelPanicky 

Let the Community Team here catch up with your thread and they'll help you too I'm sure.

@ColonelPanicky: If you want to change your Community username then simply tap on your profile picture in the top right corner (next to search field), select 'My Settings' and you will see the 'Change Login' option. Hope this helps.

Hi both, thanks for your responses,

@AndrewL I cannot see this option, I can see: 

'Edit your Samsung Account Basic Profile' but when I click on the link it always takes me to a page with an error message- is this where you mean? Thank you!

Apologies @ColonelPanicky, it appears that only moderators have the ability to amend a username. If you send me a private message with your preferred name I can get this done for you.

Thank you, PM sent 🙂

Hi, I did the same thing by entering the wrong description in the user name field late one night, can anyone help me to change this please?

Many thanks.

Hi @Moisty007 

If you can send a private message through to me with your preferred user name, I'll get this changed for you.

[RandiRijkveld]

May I do that too?

Hi @RandiRijkveld  Sure! Just send me a PM with your preferred username.

Hello. Sent you a PM also for your kind help please.

I have a Samsung Tablet and like to create a new user name and password.  Please help!  thank you

Hi @Marion14 

Your query might get a little lost here. Try creating a new topic on the Tablets board here. Just click on 'Start a Topic' at the top of the page and enter a 'Subject' that links to your issue.

Hope this helps!

Hi I've been asking the same thing, you can change anything but user name. If you find out how to please let me know it's so frustrating.

Hi @Rainy ! Just sent you a Private Message about changing your username. 

[Rainy]

hi that would be great but could you send me info so I can do it myself then I will know how .

[AntS]

@Rainy , Only the Community Admin and Moderators have the ability to edit usernames.

[Rainy]

Ok then that would be brilliant

This is all new to me
