Username not mine

[Shadowpsycho01]

So I started recently and noticed my user was aqtgazelle79360 which isnt what I go by for some reason, tired to get ahold of support no help so I was woundering how do I change it

At some point in time, you created a bethesda account, possibly by using the creation club, or some other bethesda game. When asked, you gave it one of your throw away email addresses, or just made one up “because why do I ever need this account”.

And when you play 76 it gives you a random display name that has an adjective + noun + random numbers.

You can try logging into Bethesda.net using your old email addresses. You will need to have it send a password reset. If none of your old email addresses work there is still hope.

To fix it do the following.



Step 1). In the steam store, find Doom 64. It’s cheap, sometimes free.
Step 2). Buy and install the install it.
Step 3). Load the game.
Step 4). Once inside the game, you will see an option for “bethesda.net.”
Step 5). Chose that option. It will show you the email address that was used to link Steam and Bethesda.
step 6). If you still have access to that address, you can then log in to Bethesda.net with that email address. It will probably require you to reset the password.
Step 7). You can now use that account to modify the display name etc.
Step 8). Refund Doom 64 because you have played it less than two hours.


If you do not have access to that email address anymore, then you will need to submit a support ticket and they can walk you through things.

Only times this has not worked is when the person didn’t have access to the email account anymore, or, when they input the email address they fat fingered something. One guy here had put in #gmail.com instead of @gmail.com. That required Bethesda’s assistance.

Here are the steps to change your display name:
Log into your Bethesda.net account.
Click Account Management.
Click Edit Account and enter the answer to your security question.
Enter your desired display name in the Display Name field.

Just GO to www.bethesda.net and while you have/create your account then go to your account section and change your username so easy like wake up on morning

Bethesda really screwed up when they implemented the API linking their system to Steam. So many problems would have been prevented by just requiring email verification when accounts were linked.

Bro if my progression get reset Im not gonna complain about the lvls that easy to get back the loot and stuff not gonna be happy losing so im gonna get my friend to take everything

[Shadowpsycho01]

Solved it on my own bethesda support was no help so i created an account under the username and which was linked to my steam and changed my username there

Weird. You're not the only one running into this and everyone else was able to solve it with Bethesda.

[Shadowpsycho01]

Is that what's up with all these "X-argonian1234" and "Randomdunmer9876" names? I wasn't sure at first if it was just an elder-scrolls obsessed group but the names pop up a lot and are sooo similarly themed. Free pass players, or..?
