Understand Username

Hint for students

A username is the account name a person uses to sign in. It may be different from the person's real name.

Common mix-up

Username is not the same as password. A username identifies the account; a password helps protect access.

Try it in class or at home

Write one sentence that shows username without using the word username. Then underline the clue words that show an account name, sign-in screen, profile, or login step.

Ask: Does my sentence show the name used to sign in to an account?
