How do I change my screen name on AOL?

 The screen name on AOL reflects your personal identity and works and is visible to other AOL users to whom you send mails. The America Online platform lets you create up to seven screen names. However, if you want to create yet another screen name, you can edit one of them to create a new screen, and, to serve this purpose, the primary step is to go through the AOL Mail Login process.

Once you log in to your AOL account, you can edit information on it, be it personal or general info. Apart from this, one thing worth noting here is that all of this can be done in just a few simple steps.

So, without wasting much time, let us know how you can delete an older AOL screen name and then add a new one. This process should be followed by some general instructions to create the screen name.

First, delete an existing screen name

1. Begin by completing the AOL Mail Login process.
2. You must sign in with your master screen name here.
3. After logging in, choose the 'Settings' option.
4. From the toolbar, go to the 'Screen Names' section.
5. Now, you will see the 'create or delete a screen name' box.
6. Here, select 'Delete a Screen Name'.
7. On the 'Are you sure' pop-up box, select 'Continue'.
8. Select the name you wish to remove and select 'Delete'.

(Note: America Online doesn't allow users to delete their screen names, thus make sure you are not deleting the master screen name.)

Now, create a new screen name

After deleting the screen name, you can create a new screen name of your choice by following the steps given below:

1. First of all, go to the login page of AOL.
2. After that, select 'Options' present under your username.
3. Next up, go to the 'Account Information.
4. Choose the 'Edit' option for changing the settings.
5. Here, you can add a new screen name or edit an existing one.
6. Then, hit the 'Save' button at the end.

While creating your screen name, make sure to keep certain things in mind. The first thing is that it should be 3 to 16 characters long. Also, the screen name should be a combination of upper-case and lower case letters with the inclusion of numbers and special characters.
