How I can change the Username itself, not just the password.
Hello, How I can change the Username itself, not just the password please? Cheers, Guy.
- Jun 17, 2015Are you referring to the username and password of the UI? If that's the case, you cannot change the username as there is no option for you to change it.

Yes I do use online banking, but the situation you describe does not occur since I don’t used a shared computer to access the account. But a User ID is required and it’s not secret, the extra authentication is a question (which anyone who knows me will know the answer to), and an electronic token generator is used.
Are you suggesting that everything I have posted is incorrect and that standard practice is not to treat the User ID as a public identifier, is the information in those links I posted incorrect, there were a great many more? Do you feel that the security of a router is compromised because the User ID is known, and if so would you also say that the Secret networks I use are also compromised for the same or similar reasons?
