Where to find your Fitbit username

Your Fitbit username is the name you use to log into the Fitbit app or website — not your real name, and not your email address. It appears on your profile page in the Fitbit app and on the Fitbit website. If you set up your account years ago and haven't logged in recently, you may not remember what you chose.

The fastest way to find it is to open the Fitbit app on your phone or tablet, tap the profile icon (usually in the bottom right corner), and look at the top of your profile screen. Your username will be displayed there, often next to a profile picture or initials. If you use the Fitbit website instead, log in and click your profile icon in the top right corner — your username appears in the dropdown menu.

If you cannot remember your password and cannot log in at all, you can still see your username on the Fitbit login page itself. Enter your email address in the login field, then click "Forgot password?" The password reset page will show you the username associated with that email address before you reset anything.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Fitbit username is displayed on your profile page in the Fitbit app or website once you log in.
  • If you forgot your password, the Fitbit password reset page will show your username when you enter your email address.
  • Your username is different from your email address and the name on your account — it is the name you type to log in.
  • If you created your account through a social login (Google, Apple, Facebook), you may not have set a separate Fitbit username.

Checking your username in the Fitbit app

Open the Fitbit app and look for the profile or account icon. On most phones, this is a circle or silhouette in the bottom right corner of the screen. Tap it to open your profile page.

At the top of the profile page, you will see your username displayed. It may appear next to your profile picture, or it may be listed under a "Profile" or "Account" heading. Write it down or take a screenshot if you need to use it elsewhere. Some users also see their email address on this page — your username and email are separate things.

Finding your username on the Fitbit website

Go to fitbit.com and log in with your email address and password. Once you are logged in, look for your profile icon or account menu, usually in the top right corner of the page. Click it to open a dropdown menu.

Your username will be listed in this menu, often next to your name or email address. If you do not see it when ready, click "Account Settings" or "Profile Settings" — your username will appear on that page. The website layout changes occasionally, but your username is always in the account or profile section.

Using the password reset page to find your username

If you are locked out of your account, go to fitbit.com and click "Log In" in the top right corner. On the login page, enter the email address you used to create your Fitbit account, then click "Forgot password?"

Fitbit will ask you to verify your identity — usually by sending a code to your email or asking security questions. Once you complete that step, the password reset page will display your username before you create a new password. You do not have to finish resetting your password if you only needed to see your username; you can close the page and log in normally once you remember it.

What to do if you cannot find your username

If you created your Fitbit account using a social login — Google, Apple, or Facebook — you may not have set a separate Fitbit username. In that case, you log in using your email address instead. Check your email inbox for any messages from Fitbit that mention your account setup; these sometimes include your username if one was created.

If you still cannot locate it, contact Fitbit support through the app or website. Go to the Help section (usually in the menu or settings), select "Contact Us," and describe the problem. Fitbit support can confirm your username by verifying your identity through your email address or the phone number on your account. Response times vary, but support typically replies within one to two business days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my Fitbit username the same as my email address?

No. Your username is a separate name you chose when you created your account. Your email address is what you use if you log in through social login (Google, Apple, Facebook) or if you forgot your password. You can have the same username and email, but they are not the same thing.

Can I change my Fitbit username?

Yes. In the Fitbit app, go to your profile, tap "Account Settings," and look for "Username" or "Display Name." You can edit it there. On the website, click your profile icon, select "Account Settings," and find the username field. Changes take effect when ready.

What if I see a display name instead of a username?

Fitbit allows both a username (for logging in) and a display name (what other users see on your profile). Your username is the one you use to log in. If you only see a display name, check the account settings page — your actual username should be listed separately, often labeled "Username" or "Login Name."

Do I need my username to log into Fitbit?

Not always. You can log in with your email address instead. However, some third-party apps or services that connect to Fitbit may ask for your username specifically. If a service asks for it, use your Fitbit username rather than your email.
