How to change my CodeChef user name

suraj_sharma · April 27, 2012, 4:40pm

I want to change my CodeChef user name. Is there a feature available?

admin · April 27, 2012, 4:41pm

No, we can not modify user names once it is created. You can register for a new user name if you are persistent on modifying it.

please provide one time user name modification facility like codeforces.

If providing one time username modification is not possible, could you at least give a feature where user can import stats from his old account if creating new account is the only solution.

please provide facility to change username … and also show previous few usernames in profile so to identify easily…!

One thing which can be done is the feature to create an alias/nick name which can be changed regularly. So that people can search for the user by username but the submissions will be shown by their nicknames which the user can change frequently.

Coders are not known by their names but by their ‘CODES’. Once you get into it, you will know name doesn’t matter. ‘Tourist’ name is well known because he is world’s best coder. He could have choosen any name and that name would have been as famous as tourist is. Happy Coding

@admin can we have username change feature now. Please give one time change functionality, as it is not feasible to use new account.
