What is a username?

In: Internet, Computer Programming

[Edit]

Answer

A user-name is a name you create or want to be identified with. Many sites will ask you what user-name you wish to be identified with when you open an account with them. It is really up to you. It could be your actual name, part of your name, or a fictitious one. For example, my user-name for this site is Viper1usmc. It might be something else on another site. As long as it is available (no one else took it first) you can use it as yours.

Usernames are important

A username identifies people, especially on the internet, where registration is required. If people don't register, they don't have access to some features of the site, and other people would be able to access your account, so you have a username AND a password.

For this site and well, I think any a name that has nothing to do with your real name that people on here or another website will know you as.
