Change account username?

Hello

 

Is it possible to change the username associated with my plusnet account (not forum, the actual account)?

 

I now have a static IP and I noticed that the reverse lookup on this points to [my_username].plus.com

 

Unfortunately, I have used much of my real name for the username, so it's not exactly ideal from a privacy or security point of view.

 

Thanks

In a word, No.

I now have a static IP and I noticed that the reverse lookup on this points to [my_username].plus.com

It is however possible to request that the rDNS is changed to <ip address>.plus.com.

You could either start a new thread or hope that a staff member responds here

 

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Thank you, hopefully a staff member will see this and change my rDNS.

Hi @andy_wfuk What would you like us to change that to? 

 

A common thing if you just want the username redacted is to have it as "IP".plus.com

Hi @adamwalker 

 

Yes please, [my_ip_address].plus.com would be great.
