Various Internet resources, as a rule, when registering a new user, record the login entered by him and use it not only for identification, but also as the name of this user on their public pages. This practice is not always convenient for the user himself, and sometimes the thought arises of how you can not "shine" your login. In addition, you often do not want to be seen in the forms you fill out by third-party users of your browser.
Instructions
Step 1
If you want to hide your login, for example, on a forum or some other public web resource, then start by familiarizing yourself with the capabilities provided to you by the script of this site. Many "engines" allow users to have a pseudonym in addition to a login - it can be displayed under your messages, in the list of present users, etc. Unlike login, password and email address, this alias can be changed at any time by the user himself, without involving the forum administrator or special system scripts.
Step 2
Go to the section of your account settings on the website you are interested in - in different systems it can be called "personal account", "profile", "control panel", etc. Among the settings, find and fill in the field labeled "nickname" or "display name". Then save the changes made to your personal data - the corresponding button, as a rule, is placed at the bottom of the page, under the last of the form fields.
Step 3
If you need to hide a login, which after entering remains in the memory of your browser, you will have to use a rather radical method. Some of the web browsers (for example, Opera), having memorized the login and password you entered, the next time you visit the authorization page, they do not display it in the corresponding field, but only highlight it with a frame. An unauthorized browser user visiting this page will not see your username. Other Internet browsers (for example, Google Chrome) print the login in the corresponding field "in clear text". To get rid of this inscription, you will have to delete the corresponding entry from the password manager.
Step 4
Find and activate the password remover function in your browser. For example, in Google Chrome, you can delete all saved authorization data by first pressing the Ctrl + Shift + Del key combination, and then checking the "Clear saved passwords" box in the pop-up window. And in Mozilla FireFox, select the "Options" item in the "Tools" section of the menu of this application, and then activate the "Protection" tab. Using the "Saved passwords" button, open the list of all logins, find the required one in it and click on the "Delete" button.
