After you have changed your profile link, you can check that you have made the change. If you have changed your username, you can click &#8220;confirm&#8221; to confirm your new name. You can also change your name by clicking &#8220;confirm&#8221; on the profile link or username page. After you&#8217;ve made the changes, you can click &#8220;Save Changes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_unique_username\"><\/span>Create a unique username<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you change your Facebook profile link, you need to create a unique username. A username is the name that appears on your profile page. There is no way to duplicate a username that already exists. It must be at least five characters long, not including spaces, periods, or other common symbols. The username cannot contain any generic terms or extensions, either. It should also be unique to your Facebook account.<\/p>\n<p>If the name you want is already taken, there are a few ways to avoid it. First, check if the username you&#8217;ve chosen is available. It might be in use by another person or be pending publication. You might even purchase the name and use it for yourself. Alternatively, you can purchase another username to use for your Facebook page. Whatever name you choose, be sure to choose a username that is not already used by someone else.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Secure_your_account\"><\/span>Secure your account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re concerned about security, one of the easiest ways to make sure your account isn&#8217;t compromised is to change your profile link on Facebook. Facebook suggests that you do so in the Security and Login menu. This option lets you enable two-factor authentication, which will send a unique code to your phone if you try to sign in without a verification code. Doing so will make it more difficult for someone to steal your password or username.<\/p>\n<p>Another option for securing your account is to use a two-factor authentication, which requires a phone number or SMS text message. If you forget your password or have it stolen, this feature will prompt you to insert a security key. Hackers can&#8217;t log into your Facebook account without the security key, so it&#8217;s best to protect yourself with two-factor authentication. But if you can&#8217;t get a dedicated app, you can always use your phone number.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Report_a_problem\"><\/span>Report a problem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To change your profile link on Facebook, click the &#8220;Report a problem&#8221; link. Simply describe the broken link and click the &#8220;Send&#8221; button at the bottom of the page. If you don&#8217;t have time to send a message to Facebook support, you can always try Twitter. Many users have reported broken links there. But the process is not that easy. In this article, we&#8217;ll show you how to do it in just a few minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Profile Link on Facebook If you want to change your profile link or username on Facebook, you can do so in just a few clicks.
