Where to find your username settings in Quaver

Open Quaver and log in to your account. In the top right corner, click your profile icon or avatar. From the dropdown menu, select Settings or Account Settings — the exact label depends on which version of Quaver you're using, but it's always in that menu.

Once you're in Settings, look for a section called Profile, Account, or Username. Click into it. You should see your current username displayed, usually with an Edit button or pencil icon next to it.

Key Takeaways

  • Your username settings are in the dropdown menu under your profile icon, then in the Settings or Account section.
  • Quaver may limit how often you can change your username — some games allow one change every 30 days, others every 90 days.
  • Your new username must follow Quaver's rules: no special characters, no impersonation of other players, and usually between 3 and 20 characters.
  • The change takes effect when ready after you save it, but other players may see your old name briefly if they're already in a game with you.

What Quaver's username rules actually are

Quaver doesn't allow spaces, most punctuation marks, or consecutive numbers in usernames. You can use letters and numbers, but your username has to start with a letter. The platform also prohibits usernames that impersonate moderators, developers, or other well-known players, or that contain slurs or hateful language.

Most usernames on Quaver fall between 3 and 20 characters. If you try a name that's too short, too long, or breaks one of these rules, Quaver will tell you when ready and won't let you save the change. Try a different name and submit again.

How often you can actually change your username

Quaver typically allows you to change your username once every 30 to 90 days, depending on your account type and whether you've changed it recently. If you try to change it before that window closes, the system will show you a message saying when you're may be able to access to change it again.

This cooldown exists to prevent players from constantly switching names to avoid reputation or to confuse other players. If you've just changed your username and want to change it again, you'll have to wait out the timer.

Saving your new username and what happens next

Once you've typed in a name that passes Quaver's checks, click Save, Confirm, or Update — the button label varies. The change is usually when ready on your end. Your profile will show the new name right away, and any new games you join will display your new username to other players.

Players who are already in a game with you may see your old username briefly because their client hasn't refreshed yet. This usually clears within a few minutes. Your score history, rank, and all your stats stay attached to your account — changing your username doesn't reset anything.

If the change doesn't stick or you see an error

If you click Save and nothing happens, or you get an error message, first check that your new username doesn't contain spaces or special characters. Copy and paste it into a plain text document to make sure there are no hidden characters at the beginning or end.

If the name is clean and you still can't save it, try logging out completely and logging back in. Sometimes a browser cache or app cache holds onto old data. If you're on a phone, close the Quaver app entirely and reopen it. On a computer, try a different browser or clear your browser's cache for Quaver's website. If none of that works, contact Quaver's support through their official website or in-game help menu.

Why you might want to change your username and timing

Players change their usernames for many reasons: they want something shorter or easier to spell, they've outgrown an old name, or they want a fresh start in the community. Because of the cooldown period, it's worth thinking through your new name before you submit it. You won't be able to change it again for at least a month.

If you're planning to stream or compete, pick a name you're comfortable with for the long term. Other players will start recognizing you by that name, and changing it frequently can make it harder for people to follow your progress or find your profile again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my old username again after I change it?

Not when ready. Once you change away from a username, Quaver typically holds that name for a period of time (usually 30 to 90 days) before it becomes available for anyone else to claim. You can't reclaim it during that window, but you could theoretically take it back after the hold expires if no one else has claimed it.

What if someone else took the username I wanted?

Usernames on Quaver are first-come, first-served. If someone else has already claimed the name you want, you'll see an error when you try to save it. You'll need to pick a different name. Consider adding numbers or a short prefix to make a variation of the name you wanted.

Does changing my username affect my rank or scores?

No. Your rank, scores, and all your stats stay exactly the same. The username is just the label on your account. Everything you've earned stays with you, and other players can still see your full history under your new name.

Can I change my username on mobile and desktop at the same time?

You only need to change it once. Whether you use Quaver on your phone, tablet, or computer, it's all the same account. Change it in one place, and it updates everywhere. Just make sure you're logged into the same account on all your devices.
