Skype username change?

Hello!
So I've had this account for many years, but since it is possible to get an IP via Skype calls and so on.
I would like to change my username, since I removed many contacts that I don't know and don't want
them in my list.
Is it possible for me to change my username?
I only ask for username-change, nothing advanced. I would really like this to happen
since I really want to protect my identity. I've had some DDoS attacks lately too.
kind regards,
Gabz

  • ''Change'' Skype username???

    Hy. As I can read Skype admins said, changing Skype username isn't possible becouse of security reasons. I have to make objection about this claim. If this is security problem why Skype administrators didn't solwe problem as my???
    One day when I try to create my Skype account I realised that somebody used my email to make Skype account. Then I reset Skype account password of this account ([Removed for privacy]) and configure this account as my. I explored and found out that some guy from Bosnia use my e mail address to create Skype account. I change his profile and password and he lost his (my) profile becouse he was unable to use my E mail address and he can't reset password or do something else.
    This all isn't problem (mybe this guy have similar E mail address and he mybe make mistake when he wont to make his own Skype account) but problem is that I have Skype user name ([Removed for privacy]) of this guy but not my becouse I'm (tomislav.medurecan). Becouse of that I would like to change my Skype user name.
    What can Skype admins say about this problem???
    P.S. sorry on my English

    I fully agree with you. I think it is ridiculous that Skype will not allow people to change usernames, I have read of some very valid reasons for wanting to change a username (including your reason). One reason given on another thread was about a transgender female who has now legally changed her name... yet Skype cannot similarly facilitate her name change on their system... incredibly insensitive and discriminatory in my opinion.
    SORT IT OUT Skype and get up-to-date with your security processes to allow the option of username changes.

  • Username change

    I need my username changed as it is critical<br>My account security is compromised too many times i want my actual username changed to prevent hijacks

    Hi, Bmrzod01,
    Skype will not change a user account name; please contact Skype Customer Service as noted in this FAQ article to remove your account from the search directory:
    'Can I delete my Skype account?'
    Removing your account from the search directory effectively closes the account from further use, and you would need to create a new account.
    Important: If you are being threatened or endangered, contact your local law enforcement agency immediately.
    I have transferred this thread (topic) to the Skype Account: Security-Privacy-Trust & Safety message board as the matters discussed are not Winows-specific.

    i need to get my username change or disable the ability for people to add me for a month, because someone posted my username on skype dating sites. Please help i have random people adding me and i have to keep blocking them

    Hi, Parcool, and welcome to the Community,
    To remove/delete a Skype account, as explained here, 'Can I delete my Skype account?',  is permanent.  Once a Skype account name has been created, it can not be changed.  Unfortunately, in these circumstances, you may need to consider starting a new account and removing the account which was maliciously posted.

  • [Request]Username Change

    Hello Skype Community!There is an issue between me and my close relative about the Skype 'Username'.i hereby request skype community to change my skype 'Username' from "[redacted for privacy]" to "[redacted for privacy]"I will be thankful to you if you proceeded my request!  

    if you have agreed to change the skype username so that your relative can use it instead, the easiest would be just to remove any payment information from the account, change the user info on the account, including the primary mail address so that it is the information for that person, set the password do something you don't use and tell your relative what the password is and make sure that that person changes the password to something you don't know. and then create a new skype account.If you have credits and other things connected to the account, you might want to have that info transferred to a new account, I suspect that that would be possible. Keep the old account a while longer, create a new account with an acceptable user name, contact skype support through the procedure you can find somewhere here in the user forum,, while you are logged in as your old user name, and ask them to transfer everything to the new account. THEN you hand the account over to your relative. What I would do is to just forget about the skype account and create a new one so that noone else can use that skype account. The only reason for me to heed to stupid requests from relatives would be if the request isn't stupid - ie if I created the account out of spite

  • Internal Error when viewing an activity in E-Rec after a username change

    Hello,
    Hereu2019s a brief explanation of the scenario that we are in:
    u2022 We created a new User ID for an employee because of his/her name
    change.
    u2022 We then attached this new User Id to her HR master records using Info
    Type 105 (IT0105) subtype 1 (ST01).
    u2022 This employee already had her previous User ID attached to his HR
    master records using the same IT0105 ST01. So now, this employee has 2
    IT0105 ST01 records.
    u2022 We transferred these records (old and new ids) to E-Recruiting via
    ALE process.
    To do this ALE process, we executed RBDMIDOC program on the system
    where our HR Master Data reside.
    u2022 Then in our e-recruiting system, we executed RBDAPP01 to process
    these idocs.
    u2022 This processing delimited the old User ID and created a new User ID
    for the same person in the e-recruiting system. We can view this
    relationship in HRP1001.
    u2022 Now, prior to her name change, this person had performed some
    activities on a candidateu2019s records in E-Recruiting. Obviously, these
    activities were performed with his old user ID. So those activities
    have the old user ID associated with them.
    u2022 After sending the new User Id in e-recruiting, when we go to view
    those candidate activities in candidate overview, the system throws the
    internal error message.
    The format that we use for creating usernames is last name first letter of first name, i.e. Bob Jones would look like JONESB.
    At present the only way to remedy the situation is to have the recruiter who's name (and username) changed manually change it for each activity.
    After opening up a message with SAP they responded with:
    Dear Customer,
    That's right. The reason why this recruiter doesn't see his/her
    activities is because they were created under a different user.
    E-Recruiting is designed with a stable CP-US relationship. If you
    do a delimination this can cause problems for the recruiter (as
    mentioned above) as in IT5131 the user is stored as team member.
    If the user assigned to a CP changes, the responsible candidate class
    cannot be instanced anymore. So we strictly recommend not to delimit theCP-US relation.
    Has anyone else experienced the problem?  How did you address it?  It has been my experience to use the name of the employee when creating a username.  This has never been a problem in our core system, just in E-Recruiting.
    Thank you for your help!
    Regards,
    Ryan

    DonSu,
    You have to look at the line above it to gather what's happening.  As I mentioned it making a call to get the contents of the Data Source using GetDataSourceContents.  What you might try is making the same call using Microsoft APIs and PowerShell.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/reportservice2010.reportingservice2010.getdatasourcecontents.aspx
    [string]$folderDestination = "/<Path to Data source>"
    [string]$webServiceUrl = "https://EnterURLhere/ReportServer/ReportService2010.asmx"
    $ssrsProxy = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri $webServiceUrl -UseDefaultCredential
    $DatasourceContent = $ssrsProxy.GetDataSourceContents($folderDestination)
    $DataSourceOutput = $DatasourceContent | Select-Object ConnectString, Extension, Enabled, UserName, WindowsCredentials, CredentialRetrieval
    Write-Output $DataSourceOutput

  • HT1420 I previously purchased apps using my hotmail email address as my Apple ID.Now that hotmail has joined skype, I changed my email address to gmail & updated my email details on my Apple ID for my new Gmail account.How do I transfer previous purchases

    I previously purchased several apps from the app store using my AppleID which was using my previous hotmail email address details. Now that hotmail is joined with Skype, I changed my email address to Gmail and then updated the information for my AppleID. Now when I view the purchase History using the new email
    address to sign in to my AppleID, I cannot view the previous purchases which I had when I had a Hotmail account. I can only view recent purchases and furthermore I cannot print the list of items purchased. I have been able to download / update previous purchases and download them again by signing in with
    my previous AppleID information but I want to know how I can transfer the information to my new account. Another problem I am having is that it shows there are 3 pages of purchases but I cannot view the 3rd page.

    You can't merge Apple IDs.  You also can't cancel (delete) and existing ID, you can only choose to stop using it.
    If your old ID was compromised and you can no longer access it, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance.  Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then then 'Apple ID account Security’.

  • LEAP, ACS 3.1 Active Dir username changes

    We have an active directory domain.
    We have users with 350 pcmcia cards in their thinkpads connecting to 1200 APs set to allow authentication to an external DB (the AD domain).
    Everything was happy until a user got married.
    Her name changes.
    My day is ruined.
    Now, when she logs in the ACS server flags it as a failed attempt instantly. I can replicate this perfectly. It doesn't allow her to login. When she sits down at a wired machine she can login with no problems. So we know the account is good. What I can't understand is why, if we're set to pass unknown users and all authentication to the external DB (AD domain), this doesn't work? Surely the ACS server should just treat this new username as unknown and bounce it to the AD domain?
    Anyone seen this before? Or perhaps more importantly anyone fixed this yet? I've posted over at CCO on the cisco site and no luck there yet. I've also googled extensively and nothing of use. Lots of info on password changes but nothing on username changes.
    many thanks
    J
    note: edited for clarity

    What does the error in the "Failed Attempts" log say on the ACS server?
    Is there a single AD domain in your org? If there are multipel domains, could there be a user with the same username in another domain that ACS is checking first?

  • How to check skype username?

    I created a new skype account but they did not ask me to choose a username. Now I am unable to login to the skype app. 

    Hm, how weird they didn't ask you to input a Skype name when you signed up for it.
    Perhaps try going to http://skype.com and click 'Sign in' at the top right corner. Since you don't know your Skype name, under where you type in your Skype username to log into the website, you should be able to click the words 'Forgotten your username?' or something along the lines of that.
    I'm sure you'll be able to type in your email address that you signed up for Skype with and then they'll send you your username.
    Hope I helped!

  • I would like to change my Skype username

    I know that this is a topic that most people get annoyed with answering, but I feel like this is really important to me as well. See, I made my Skype account back when I was in seventh grade and in my scene and 'edgy' phase and so it's kind of innappropriate since, at the time, I was not thinking about the consequences of what I used for my username. 
    I'm now an aspiring voice actress and a video game designer and I feel like I should have a more professional username and I wish that I would be able to do that. Is there any way that, possibly, in the near future the policy could be changed to allow people to change their usernames even if only once or twice?

    You can't.

  • Skype Community Username Change

    Dear Skype Team,
    Can some one guide me if it is possible to change the username of Skype community?

    Hi, Deepaknet, and welcome to the Community,
    As a gentle reminder ... from the About the Community page ...
    To register:
    Click the Register link at the top of any page.
    Enter a Login name.
    This is your screen name in the community. It appears whenever you post or send private messages.
    Tip:Most people create anonymous names for the sake of privacy and to help them feel more comfortable participating. Be creative, have fun with it, but choose carefully: you cannot change your login once registration is complete.
    If there is a truly necessary or required reason for a community account name to be changed, a request would need to be filed via private message to a member of the Skype Support Network Moderation Team for consideration.
    Thank you for understanding!

  • Skype Account contact list and skype name changed

    Hi!
    I have been actively using my skype account again lately and one time last week when I signed in, I just cannot. My username and password are correct. And so what I did was to reset my password. I was able to reset my password through my email and when I signed in to Skype, I found out that my skype account was "hacked", I think. My skype name, profile photo and contact list changed into somebody else's account.
    I just want to ask what has happened to my account? Why did that happened? The username and contact list that appears to my account, I think, was leggit and not an act  of hacking. Could it be possibly that our accounts switched?

    Hi, DaisyrieDumali, and welcome to the Community,
    Your report reads to me like your account was compromised (hacked).  If you still have control of it, sign on to the account dashboard and change your account's registered e-mail address to something else, and then change the password. 
    Also, as a proactive measure, ensure your computer's software and patches are updated, and run your preferred anti-virus/malware/spyware program using the most recent virus signature files available.
    If you have lost access to your account, you may need to create a new account to use so you can contact Skype Customer Service in order to recover the first account.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    Skype is aware of lingering problems with the website when contacting their customer service agents. If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.
