Can I change my username? Username vs Displayname | Beginner questions

in #steemit7 years ago

Hi guys,

so when I first set up my username I didn't give it much thought since I just wanted to take a look at what steem.it is. Now I've decided I want to change my name but can't figure it out.

And what is the exact difference between username and display name? What name do you guys see here? (as the author)

Any help would be appreciated!

and is there a section for basic questions like these?

Did you ever figure this one out?

I'm also posting to see if its my username that pops up or my display name lol

Ok, so it seems to me that your display name is shown on your page but your username is shown when you comment.

Same issue here. Didn't realize my username was going to be public. Thought that was what the display name was for. So far it seems there is no way to change the username.

I got creative about my username, because I figured that so long as I kept my passwords safe, I would encounter no problems in the future in performing any significant transactions on my Steemit account. I haven't really selected a display name, even though I've been a Steemian for two and a half years.
