@handle on your account and the default profile URL — biolovers.site/<username>. You can rename it from the dashboard, with a couple of rules.
Signed up with Discord or Google? Your first dashboard visit shows a one-time Choose your username prompt with a suggested handle. Confirming or changing it there is free and does not use the Premium rename below. See Make an account.
Who can rename
| Plan | What you get |
|---|---|
| Free | The rename input is hidden — you’ll see an upgrade nudge. Capitalisation tweaks aren’t available either. |
| Premium | One free rename per account. After that, only an admin can change it again. Capitalisation tweaks (e.g. yuno → Yuno) are unlimited and don’t count. |
How to rename
- Open the Sign-in panel.
- Type the new handle in the Change username input.
- Tap Change username.
- The panel confirms the new handle and your dashboard URL updates immediately.
Rules
- 1–32 characters.
- Letters (uppercase or lowercase), digits,
_, or-. - No spaces or emoji.
- Cannot start or end with
_or-. - Cannot match a reserved route (e.g.
admin,api,dashboard,pricing). - Cannot match another account’s username or alias — even if the casing differs.
Yunoandyunoare treated as the same handle.
Capitalisation is free
Changing only the case of your username —yuno → Yuno, or MYNAME → MyName — does not burn your one rename. The lookup the site uses is lowercase under the hood, so the casing edit just refreshes how the handle is displayed in your URL, profile header, and dashboard.
You can do casing tweaks any number of times.
Identity changes burn the one rename
A rename that actually moves the lookup (e.g.yuno → lain) is a true identity change. After the first one:
- The form still works for capitalisation edits.
- Trying another identity change shows “You’ve already used your one username change.”.
What renaming changes
| Thing | What happens |
|---|---|
| Profile URL | Switches to the new handle on every supported domain (biolovers.site, strolled.dev, larp.tax, dominated.lol). |
| Old profile URL | Stops resolving immediately. No redirect. |
| Login | Use the new handle. The old one will not log you in. |
| Referral link | biolovers.site/ref/<handle> auto-syncs to the new handle. Old /ref/<old> 404s. |
| Display name | Unchanged — that’s a separate field in Name & about me. |
| Profile contents | Untouched — every link, badge, customisation, etc. stays exactly where it was. |
| Email / password | Untouched. Sessions stay valid. |
Rules around frozen profiles
If your profile is frozen by an admin, the rename input is locked. Reach out via Discord or the contact form before trying again.Common questions
Why do I only get one?
Why do I only get one?
Renames break links other people have already shared. We allow the one move so you can fix early-account regret without people losing the ability to find each other every other week.
Can I take a name that's free now if I already used my rename?
Can I take a name that's free now if I already used my rename?
Not from the dashboard. Reach out via Discord or the contact form and an admin can switch it for you — admin renames don’t burn your allowance.
What if I just want it to look better — `Yuno` instead of `yuno`?
What if I just want it to look better — `Yuno` instead of `yuno`?
Type the new casing into the box. The site recognises that as a casing-only edit and does not count it as your rename. Do this any time.
Will my old URL redirect to the new one?
Will my old URL redirect to the new one?
No. The old URL 404s the moment you save. If keeping the old link working matters, set the alias slug to your old handle.
Does it change my login?
Does it change my login?
Yes — sign in with the new handle from now on. Existing sessions stay signed in.
Can I rename to the same name as my alias?
Can I rename to the same name as my alias?
Yes, but the alias becomes redundant — both URLs would point at the same handle. Clear the alias from the Domain & URL panel afterwards if you don’t want a duplicate.
