How to Change Your Reddit Username

Reddit assigns new users a generic username by default, but users are free to choose any available username they want. However, many users are quick and accidentally skip the username selection part and then start looking for ways to change the auto-assigned random username. You may also want to change your Reddit username if your alias has blown, or if you no longer like your current username. Here’s how to change your username on Reddit.
