Your Audible username appears in your account settings, not on the app home screen

Your Audible username is the name you use to sign into the Audible app or website — not your real name or email address. It's stored in your account settings and you'll need it if you're troubleshooting login problems, contacting Audible support, or setting up a family library. The quickest way to find it depends on whether you're using the app or the website.

Audible doesn't display your username prominently on the home screen or in your profile the way some apps do. Instead, it's tucked into your account details. If you've forgotten it, you can retrieve it in under a minute from either the mobile app or the web version of your account.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Audible username is visible in your account settings under "Sign In & Security" on the website or in the app menu.
  • On the Audible website, go to Account > Sign In & Security to see your username listed next to "Email address".
  • On the Audible mobile app, tap the profile icon, select Account Settings, then look for Sign In & Security.
  • If you can't remember your password but know your username, you can reset your password using the "Forgot Password" link on the Audible sign-in page.

Finding your username on the Audible website

Start by going to audible.com and signing into your account. Once you're logged in, look for your account menu — usually a profile icon or your name in the top right corner of the page. Click it and select "Account" or "Your Account".

From the Account page, find the section labeled "Sign In & Security" or "Login & Security". Your username will be displayed there, often next to your email address. Write it down or take a screenshot if you need to reference it later. This is the same username you use every time you sign in, regardless of which device you're using.

Finding your username in the Audible mobile app

Open the Audible app on your phone or tablet and tap the profile icon at the bottom of the screen (usually labeled "Profile" or showing a person silhouette). This takes you to your profile page.

From there, tap "Account Settings" or "Settings". Look for a section called "Sign In & Security" or "Login Information". Your username will be listed in that section. The exact wording and menu layout varies slightly between the iOS and Android versions, but the username is always in the account security settings.

What to do if you don't remember your password

If you know your username but can't sign in because you've forgotten your password, go to the Audible sign-in page and click "Forgot Password". Enter your username or the email address associated with your account, and Audible will send you a password reset link.

Check your email (including spam folders) for the reset message. Click the link in that email to create a new password. You'll then be able to sign in using your username and the new password you set.

Recovering a forgotten username

If you've forgotten both your username and password, you'll need to use the email address tied to your account. Go to audible.com and click "Sign In". Then click "Forgot Password" and enter the email address you used when you created your Audible account.

Audible will send you a password reset email. After you reset your password and sign in, you can find your username in your account settings using the steps above. Keep your username somewhere safe — like a password manager or a note in your phone — so you don't have to dig for it again.

Why Audible uses usernames instead of email addresses

Audible requires a username separate from your email address because you might change your email over time, but your username stays the same. This keeps your library and listening history connected to one consistent identifier. Your username also works across all Audible platforms — the website, the mobile app, and even Alexa devices linked to your account.

Some people use the same text for both their username and email, which can make it straightforward to forget they're different. But Audible treats them as separate pieces of information, so knowing your username is important for account recovery and support requests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my Audible username?

Audible does not allow you to change your username after your account is created. If you need a different username, you would have to create a new account. However, you can change the email address associated with your account through the Sign In & Security settings.

Is my Audible username the same as my Amazon username?

Not necessarily. If your Audible account is linked to an Amazon account, they may use the same email address, but your Audible username is separate. You sign into Audible with your Audible username, not your Amazon username. Check your Audible account settings to confirm which username you use for Audible specifically.

What if I see my email address but no separate username?

Some older Audible accounts use the email address as the username. If you don't see a distinct username listed in your Sign In & Security settings, your email address is what you use to sign in. You can still use it the same way you would use a traditional username.

Do I need my username to listen to audiobooks?

You need your username (or email address, if that's your login) to sign into Audible and access your library. Once you're signed in, you can listen to your books without needing to enter your username again until you sign out or switch devices.
