Changing your Habbo username through account settings

You can change your Habbo username once every 365 days through your account settings. Log into Habbo, click the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top right corner, then select "Settings." From there, go to "Account" and look for the username change option. You will see the date you last changed it and when you are may be able to access to change it again.

The change takes effect when ready after you confirm it. Your old username becomes available for other players to claim after a short period. Any friends, rooms, or items you own stay with your account — only the display name changes.

Key Takeaways

  • You can change your Habbo username once per year through the Settings menu under Account.
  • The change is when ready and does not affect your items, rooms, friends list, or account history.
  • If you have not changed your username before, you are may be able to access to change it now.
  • Your old username becomes available for other players to use after the change goes through.

What happens to your account when you change your name

Your account itself does not change — only the name that appears to other players. Your inventory, room ownership, friend list, and trading history all stay exactly the same. Other players can still find you through your profile, and any rooms you own will still show as yours.

The only thing that changes is what people see when they look at your profile or encounter you in a room. If you were known by your old username, other players may not recognize you at first, but your account level, badges, and room history will still be visible to anyone who checks your profile.

If you cannot find the username change option

The username change feature is only available in the web version of Habbo, not in the mobile app. If you are playing on your phone or tablet, you will need to log into Habbo through a web browser on a computer to change your username.

If you are on the web version and still do not see the option, check that you are logged into the correct account. Some accounts created very recently may have a waiting period before the username change feature becomes available. If you have waited several days and still cannot find it, contact Habbo support through their help center.

Waiting for your next username change

Once you change your username, you must wait a full 365 days before you can change it again. The Settings menu will show you the exact date you are may be able to access to change it next. This timer resets each time you make a change, so if you change your username on January 15, you cannot change it again until January 15 of the following year.

If you change your mind about your new username before the year is up, you cannot undo it through the settings. Your only option would be to contact Habbo support and explain the situation, though they may not be able to reverse the change depending on their policies.

Choosing a username that follows Habbo rules

Habbo has rules about what usernames are allowed. Your new username cannot contain offensive language, impersonate staff members, or include certain symbols or numbers in ways that look like they are trying to copy another player's name. Usernames must be between 3 and 15 characters long.

Before you confirm your change, make sure your new username does not violate these rules, because if it does, Habbo may force you to change it again without counting it against your annual limit. Avoid names that look like they belong to moderators or famous players, as these are often rejected or flagged.

What to tell your friends when you change your name

If you have a close group of friends in Habbo, let them know your new username before you change it. While your friend list stays the same and they will still see you as a friend, they may not recognize you in rooms or chat if they do not know your new name.

If you are part of a group or guild, tell the leaders or moderators so they can update any rosters or announcements. Some groups track members by username, and a sudden name change can cause confusion about who is who.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my username more than once a year?

No. Habbo limits username changes to once every 365 days. You can see the exact date you are may be able to access to change it again in your account settings. If you need to change it more often, you would need to create a new account.

Will my old username be deleted forever?

No. Your old username becomes available for other players to claim after a short time. If you want to keep that name, you cannot change your username. Once another player claims it, you cannot get it back.

What if someone else takes my old username?

Once your old username is released, any player can claim it. Habbo does not reserve old usernames for previous owners. If the name is important to you, do not change it unless you are certain you want a new one permanently.

Does changing my username affect my Habbo coins or credits?

No. Your currency, items, and all account progress stay with your account. The username change only affects what name appears next to your character in the game.

Can I change my username on mobile?

The username change feature is only available on the web version of Habbo. Log into the website on a computer or tablet browser to make the change. The mobile app does not have this option.
