TikTok: Change name and password - how it works

With TikTok you can easily change your name and password. In this practical tip, we will show you how you can adjust both in just a few steps.

How to change your TikTok name

There are two names at TikTok: First the nickname in the upper field under which users can be found at TikTok and one the user name in the lower field. The username is the name under which you operate at TikTok. Unlike the nickname, this name can only be changed every 30 days. That's how it's done:

1. Open the TikTok app.
2. Tap on "Profile" at the bottom right and then on the red button "Edit Profile".
3. Enter your new nickname in the first field and your new user name in the second field. The screenshot shows which field is the right one. Of course, both names do not have to be changed, you can change just one of the fields.
4. Once you have entered your new name, click on "Save" at the top right. If the name has already been assigned, you will be asked to assign a new user name for TikTok.

Change password at TikTok

You can easily change the password at TikTok. All you have to do is know what your current password for the app is. Here's how to do it:

1. Open the TikTok app and select the profile at the bottom right.
2. Tap the three dots in the top right and then select the "Manage account" item in the "Account" area.
3. In the next step, tap on "Password" and enter your current password and your new password here. You must also enter this again for confirmation.
4. Finally, tap on the checkmark at the bottom right to use the new password.
