Change default nickname

Would it be possible to change the default nickname on this community to something random, like with numbers instead of based on the e-mail address?

I just created the account and apparently it was made with my last name. I did not notice until I posted something, and then I had trouble figuring out how to change it as well (on my phone).

A simple ‘random’ nickname could fix this.

Yes you should be able to change your username under preferences.

I know, but I mean is it possible to change the default (automatic) nickname into something anonymous, with numbers for example. So the nickname before you’ve changed it into something else.

Can you be a little more specific?

The default name contains data that we might want to stay private. If we miss to update it, the information will become public until we change it.

Yes, exactly

I though I answered this.

Yes I found out how to change it. But what I mean is: is it possible to change the default nickname (before you’ve changed it) into something without using the e-mail address? For example random numbers instead.

For me when I created the account, I immediately started posting. Then I saw that my last name was visible (because of the e-mail), and I had to figure out how to change it. I can imagine more people have this, when you use random numbers this is never a privacy issue.
