Username generator
Get a unique username for a new account, game or forum, without using your real name.
Made in your browser. Nothing you generate here is sent to us or stored.
Why a unique username helps
Keeps your identity private
A username built from your name or birthday tells strangers who you are. A generated one doesn't link back to you.
Harder to target
Attackers who know your username from one site try it on others. A different username per site breaks that link.
Separate parts of your life
Use different usernames for work, gaming and shopping, so one account can't be used to find the others.
Always available
Popular names are usually taken. A word combination with a few digits is almost always free on the first try.
Many usernames, nothing to remember
Vault saves the username and password together for each site and fills both in when you come back. Free, and encrypted so only you can read it.
Questions
Is this username generator safe to use?
Yes. Usernames are made in your browser with a secure random source. Nothing is sent to us, logged or stored.
Readable words or random characters?
Readable words, like QuietHarbor427, are easy to remember and to say. Random characters are better when you want a username that looks like nothing at all, for example for an account you'd rather keep anonymous.
Will the username be available on the site?
Very likely, but we can't check other sites. If it's taken, click Generate another, or add more digits at the end.
Does a unique username replace a strong password?
No, it adds to it. Pair it with a long, random password from the password generator and turn on two-step login where you can.
