Choose the correct field

Your nickname is the display name; the username is the @handle and part of the profile URL.

Edit the profile

Open Profile > Edit profile and select Name or Username.

Follow format and timing rules

Nicknames are limited to 30 characters; usernames use letters, numbers, underscores, and periods and cannot end in a period.

Check the new profile link

Changing the username changes the profile URL, so update links you control after saving.
