You can't. There is currently no way to do this.

Also: There is a reason your account name isn't shown to others - it is used to identity your account. Keep it to yourself, just like your password. Changing your account name to match the name you use here wouldn't be a good idea.

You cannot change it once chosen and created.

not just this, but op putting the name they want for the public to see is going to invite someone else to take it, just fro funsies

Would you like to change your profile name to same as the account name?
Are you gonna name your dog after your bank account number as well?

Do note though that not all games can be family shared.

Well that is not happening unless you do the other way around, change the profile name to match your username.

But for security reasons it is not a good idea, and an even worse idea to let the world know about that...

It doesn't really matter, though. While there is no need for anyone else to know the login name, it's not a security risk either -- you still need the password and the authenticator/email-code to get in, and you'll probably need access to the EMail to reset the password, or maybe even more information.
