-The username that you use is only known to you. That is the one which is used to login. We strongly recommend that you not only should not share your password buy you should ALSO not share your username either. We never expose the username to anyone but you.

+The username that you use is only known to you. That is the one which is used to login.

We never expose the username to anyone but to you //i.e. the person who got an account//. This reduces the chance of anyone getting into your account.
-When you get an account at //We.Spoke.Today// along with your username, we provide an alphanumeric code instead of an actual name.  This can be seen in your account.  Why a "code" for a name? So that you can keep your personal identity to yourself. In many cases, this can lead to good quality discussions as the content you write cannot be attributed to any one person -- so people would be coaxed to look at your content, instead of who you are.
+But then you need to be known by some name or the other, right? Else how would differentiate from one person's content from another?
-If you so wish, you can change this name to your own real name -- or frankly, whatever name you choose. But this change can only be done once.

+(This affects only when you use the bundled version of We.Spoke.Today in our other product //Git Winch//)
+When you are working for an office, and the owner of a Git repository in the office needs to setup a //Deploy Key// for you, then you need to share your actual username with that owner.
