How to change your username on Skype

Как поменять логин в Скайпе

Due to various circumstances, it happens that it becomes necessary to change your name when entering the program. Is it possible? No, unfortunately, change your login to Skype or Whatsapp impossible.

In order to radically change your appearance on Skype, you need to register again and, if desired, completely delete your account profile information. To do this, you need to open the downloaded Skype application on your computer, then select “Personal Data” and open “Edit Personal Data”, where it is important to change all the information by entering any set of letters and numbers in the columns. After which you need to exit Skype, and if you do not use this login for three weeks, it will no longer be indexed in search engines and will become inaccessible.

Such changes will ensure that other users will no longer be able to find the personal information of a “non-desired” profile.
However, if you log into Skype again from this account, everything will be restored.

Also, unfortunately, you cannot delete your account in the addresses of other users. But, if you do not log into your account, you can always be offline.

After all these manipulations, you must register again under a new name and using a new credit card. Sometimes it happens that when you re-register, the previous login appears again. In this situation, when registering, you should select the box: “I don’t have a Skype login.” If necessary, you can delete the login from the computer's memory. To do this, through the “Start” menu - “All Programs” - “Accessories” - “Run” a window will appear with all Skype user accounts for this computer. To delete the required login permanently, you can use the simultaneous pressing hot keys "Shift+Del".

    Elena, if it doesn’t help you to forgive me to log out of Skype and log in, but under a different login, then you need to unlink your Skype and Microsoft accounts.
    You can only unlink accounts once, so make sure you really want to do this.

    To unlink your Skype and Microsoft accounts

    Sign in to your account.
    In the Options and Settings section, select Account Settings.
    On the Account Settings page, click the Unlink link next to your Microsoft or Facebook account.

    If your account says Unlinked instead of Unlinked, your Facebook or Microsoft and Skype accounts are NOT currently linked. If this is not what you expected, make sure you are signed in to Skype with the correct username.
    The phrase ''Unlink'' next to your Microsoft and Facebook account ID on the ''Account Settings'' page of your Skype profile.

    An information message will open. Review the information and, if you agree, use Continue to unlink your Skype account from your Microsoft or Facebook account.

    Once you unlink your Microsoft account, you will no longer be able to use it to sign in to Skype (it won't be closed, but you won't be able to sign in). Read the pop-up message, and if you agree, select Close account.

    • But it seemed to me that this was a paid feature. Or am I confusing Skype with something else?
