When to use it#

  • Register many accounts with different usernames.
  • Create unique login names within a length requirement.
  • Generate test data for a sign-up form.

When not to use it#

  • Do not use it when a username must represent a person or be checked online.

Configuration steps#

  1. Add a Random › Random Username command.
  2. Set the min/max length.
  3. (Optional) enable dots, special characters, or use words.
  4. (Optional) enter a result variable. Save.

Every option explained#

Min / max length#

The length range of the generated username.

Use dots#

Separate parts with a . (e.g. an.nguyen).

Special characters#

Sprinkle a few special characters for more randomness.

Use words + word count#

Build from meaningful words (animals, objects, nature...) instead of real names.

Result variable#

The result is always copied to the clipboard. Enter a variable name to also store a copy.

Expected result#

After execution, Random Username completes the described action and makes its result available to the next step.

Real example#

Example: a 10-14 char username with dots#

  1. Random Username, min=10, max=14, dots on.
  2. Variable uname.
  3. Fill {uname} in the sign-up field.

Limitations and failure cases#

  • It does not check availability; the destination service may enforce different character rules.

Tips & common mistakes#

If you need a username derived from a specific name, use Generate Username from Name.
