Where to find your username in the game

Your Cookie Run Kingdom username appears in the top-left corner of the main screen, next to your profile icon. Open the game and look at the upper left — you'll see a small circular icon with your character or avatar, and directly beside or below it is your username displayed in white text.

If you're already logged in and playing, this is the fastest way to confirm what name other players see when they look you up or add you as a friend. The username stays visible on nearly every screen in the game, so you don't need to navigate to a special menu.

Key Takeaways

  • Your username displays in the top-left corner next to your profile icon on the main game screen.
  • You can also find your username by tapping your profile icon and opening your profile card, which shows your full account details.
  • Your username is different from your player ID — the ID is a long number used for support tickets and account recovery.
  • If you don't remember your username but know your email or phone number, you can recover it by logging out and using the account recovery option on the login screen.

Checking your profile card for full details

Tap the profile icon in the top-left corner to open your profile card. This screen shows your username at the top, along with your level, kingdom name, and other account information. Your profile card is the official record of how your account appears to other players.

From this same screen, you can also see your player ID — a long string of numbers below your username. Write down both if you need to contact support, because support requests require your player ID, not your username.

The difference between username and player ID

Your username is the name you chose or that was assigned when you created your account. Other players see this name when you add them as friends or when they search for you in the game. You can change your username through the settings menu, usually for free once, and then for a small in-game cost after that.

Your player ID is a unique number that never changes. Devsisters (the company that makes Cookie Run Kingdom) uses this ID to look up your account if you lose access, get hacked, or need to transfer your account to a new device. If you contact support, always give them your player ID, not your username, because the ID is what actually identifies your account in their system.

How to change your username if you want a different one

Open the settings menu (usually a gear icon) and look for "Account" or "Profile" settings. Select the option to change your username. Most games let you change it once for free; after that, you'll need to spend in-game currency or real money.

When you change your username, your player ID stays the same. Friends who have you added will still see you in their friend list, but they'll see your new name. The change takes effect when ready in most cases.

Recovering your username if you forgot it

If you're logged out and can't remember your username, tap the account recovery or login help option on the login screen. You'll be asked to enter the email address or phone number linked to your account. Devsisters will send you a recovery link or code that lets you log back in.

Once you're logged in again, your username will be visible in the top-left corner. If you still can't find it or suspect your account was compromised, contact Devsisters support through the in-game help menu and provide your player ID.

Why you might need your username

You'll need your username when you want other players to find and add you as a friend. You also need it if you're joining a guild and want guild members to know who you are. Some players share their username on forums or Discord servers when they're looking for teammates or trading information.

For account support or recovery, however, always use your player ID instead. Support staff can't look up accounts by username alone because multiple players might have similar names.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can two players have the same username?

Yes. Cookie Run Kingdom allows multiple players to have the same or very similar usernames. This is why your player ID is the unique identifier — it's the only number that's truly one-of-a-kind. When adding friends, you may need to check their player ID or level to make sure you're adding the right person.

What happens to my username if I switch devices?

Your username stays the same as long as you log into the same account. Link your account to an email address or social media account before you switch devices, then log in with those credentials on your new device. Your username, level, and all progress will be there.

Is my username visible to everyone in the game?

Yes, your username is visible to other players when they view your profile, see you in rankings, or receive a friend request from you. If you want privacy, you can adjust some settings, but your username itself will always be public to anyone who searches for you or encounters you in multiplayer features.

Can I use special characters or spaces in my username?

Most games restrict usernames to letters, numbers, and a few symbols. When you create or change your username, the game will tell you which characters are allowed. If you try to use a character that isn't permitted, the save button will be grayed out or you'll see an error message.
