How can I update my forum badge to display my new username?

Username vs. Email Changes

According to the official n8n documentation:

• You can change the email address associated with your n8n instance by editing the Email field in the Settings page. This change updates the login email and communication email, but does not affect the username.
• Username changes are not currently supported. If you want your instance (and subsequently your forum badge) to reflect a different username, the recommended approach is to create a new account and transfer your workflows to that account.

Regarding Your Forum Badge

Since your forum badge is based on your account’s username and the username remains unchanged, the badge will continue to display the original name—even if your email has been updated. Even though badge updates are generally done weekly, they will reflect the username stored in your account, which (as mentioned) won’t change automatically.

Next Steps

If you require your forum badge to display a new username, you will need to:

• Create a new n8n account with your desired username.
• Transfer your workflows following the workflow transfer instructions.

For further assistance beyond the documentation, please consider reaching out to the n8n support team or checking the n8n community forum for additional guidance.
