Where to find your Fitbit username
Your Fitbit username is the name you chose when you created your Fitbit account, not your email address. You can find it in the Fitbit app or on the Fitbit website by logging in and checking your account settings. The fastest route is to open the Fitbit app on your phone, tap the profile icon (usually in the bottom right corner), and look for your username displayed at the top of your profile page.
If you use the web version instead, go to fitbit.com, log in with your email and password, click your profile icon in the top right corner, and select "Settings" or "Profile". Your username will appear on that page. Some versions of the Fitbit app show your username right on the main profile screen without needing to tap into settings.
Key Takeaways
- Your Fitbit username is different from your email address and appears in your profile settings within the Fitbit app or website.
- In the mobile app, tap your profile icon and look at the top of your profile page to see your username when ready.
- On the web, log in at fitbit.com, click your profile icon, and go to Settings or Profile to find your username.
- If you cannot remember your username, you can change it to something new in your account settings on either the app or website.
Finding your username in the Fitbit mobile app
Open the Fitbit app and tap the profile icon at the bottom of the screen. On most phones, this is the rightmost icon in the bottom navigation bar. Your username will appear near the top of the profile page, often displayed prominently above your name or email address.
If you do not see it on the main profile screen, tap "Settings" (usually a gear icon) and then look for "Account" or "Profile Information". Your username should be listed there. The exact wording and location can vary slightly depending on which version of the Fitbit app you have installed, but it will always be in your account or profile section.
Finding your username on the Fitbit website
Go to fitbit.com and log in using your email address and password. Once you are logged in, look for your profile icon or avatar in the top right corner of the page and click it. A dropdown menu will appear with several options.
Select "Settings" or "Profile" from that menu. Your account page will load, and your username will be displayed somewhere on that page, typically near your email address or at the top of your profile information. If you still do not see it, look for a section labeled "Account Details" or "Personal Information".
What to do if you cannot find your username
If you have logged into your account but still cannot locate your username, it may be because you never set one during account creation. Some Fitbit accounts use only an email address without a separate username. In this case, your email address functions as your login credential.
You can create a username now if you want one. In the Fitbit app or website settings, look for an option to "Edit Profile" or "Change Username". Tap or click that option and enter a new username you would like to use. Fitbit will tell you whether that username is available. Once you set a username, it will appear in your profile from that point forward.
Why you might need your Fitbit username
Your Fitbit username is used when you want to add friends within the Fitbit app, join challenges, or share your activity with other Fitbit users. It is also the name that appears on leaderboards if you participate in group competitions. Some third-party apps that connect to Fitbit may ask for your username as well.
Your username is different from your password and email address. Sharing your username with others is safe — it is meant to be public so that friends can find you. Never share your password or the email address associated with your account, but your username can be given out freely.
Changing your Fitbit username
If you want to use a different username, you can change it in your account settings. Open the Fitbit app, go to your profile, tap Settings, and look for "Edit Profile" or "Account Settings". Select the option to change your username and enter the new one you want.
On the website, log in, click your profile icon, go to Settings, and find the option to edit your profile or change your username. Type in your new username and save the changes. Fitbit will confirm whether the new username is available before you finalize the change. Your old username will no longer be active once the change is complete.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my Fitbit username the same as my email address?
No. Your email address is what you use to log in, while your username is a separate name you chose for your profile. Some accounts may not have a username set at all and use only the email address for login.
Can I see other people's Fitbit usernames?
Yes. When you add friends or look at leaderboards in the Fitbit app, you can see their usernames. Usernames are public information meant to help people find and connect with each other in the app.
What if I forgot my password but remember my username?
Go to fitbit.com and click "Forgot your password?" on the login page. Enter your email address (not your username), and Fitbit will send you a link to reset your password. You will need access to the email address associated with your account.
Can I have the same username as someone else?
No. Fitbit usernames must be unique. If you try to create or change to a username that is already taken, the app or website will tell you it is not available and ask you to choose a different one.
Does my username appear on my Fitbit device itself?
Your username does not show on your Fitbit watch or tracker. It only appears in the Fitbit app and on the Fitbit website. Your device displays your activity data but not your username.
