Step 1
The procedure for changing the login takes a few minutes and requires just a couple of mouse clicks from the user. To change your account, first go to your personal page, then go to the "Settings" section and select the option labeled "Login". On some sites, in order to make a replacement, you will need to enter your phone number to confirm the procedure and receive an access code. Despite the fact that the process of “modifying” the “name” is largely identical, all sites have their own nuances.
Step 2
For example, in Odnoklassniki, you will first need to select the More item located below the main photo. Then go to the "Change settings" section and select "Login". Follow the link. Here you will need to provide your phone number. Indicate a valid phone number, as within a few seconds you will receive an SMS message with a code that will need to be entered in the next window that opens. Enter the code and change the old login to the new one. Save your changes.
Step 3
"Vkontakte" function of changing the login is not provided. But on this site it is possible to change the email address.

Change the address on the "My Settings" page, click the "Change address" button. Soon a letter will be sent to your address confirming the change of address. Now you can enter the site using the new "name".
Step 4
The Twitter login is also changed by visiting the Settings menu. On the home page of the site, it is located in the upper right part. Go to the "Account" section and enter the new information in the "Username" section. Save your changes.
Step 5

You can get into it by clicking on the "triangle" in the upper left corner, located near the inscription "Home". In the "General Account Settings" section, click on the "Edit" link in the "Email Address" line. Enter the address, enter the password (it is needed for the settings to take effect) and save the changes.
Step 6
The function of changing the login to enter the e-mail is not provided yet on any site. To "receive" an e-mail with a new username, you need to register one more mailbox.
