Can I change my username?
You can change a username in the app. At the moment, users have 5 attempts to set the username (1 initial + 4 changes).
‼️Please note that after changing the username, neither you nor other peers can reuse the old username again.
Why is there a requirement for usernames to contain a digit?
This is an anti-spam measure in the username registry. It helps limit automated or bulk name registrations while the system scales.
Where are the usernames stored?
Keet introduced its Username Registry, a system that allows users to register unique usernames on Keet. It is available on both desktop and mobile versions of the app.
The registry is fully peer-to-peer (P2P), meaning distribution happens entirely without centralized servers. However, it includes a gatekeeper system for write access, allowing Keet to moderate and control new username registrations to prevent abuse.
In Keet, your identity is tied to a unique seed phrase that cannot be changed. There is no mechanism for sharing or giving away usernames.
⚠️ Sharing a username would mean giving someone your seed phrase, which grants full access to your account.
