Figma Username vs. Figma Community Display Name

I have a very distinct first and last name.

My Figma profile uses my full name, which is important for our organization-- coworkers and partners in Figma need to be able to easily tag me in comments and see who worked on files.

However, I would like a way to have a different display name and handle for the Figma Community. I don’t really want my questions about plugins, etc. to be publicly searchable if someone were to Google my name. I prefer to have a privacy option and keep my professional work and personal online presence as separate as possible.

I just joined, realised it did this, and going to immediately delete my profile! This is a serious privacy concern, wth.

Hey there!

The Community Support team can either update your username or delete your account.

Just a heads-up:

  • When logging into the forum for the first time, users have the option to select their username.
  • If you'd like us to change your username, we can update it for you.
  • If you’d prefer to delete your account instead, we can take care of that upon request.
    We’ll send you a DM shortly to proceed with the deletion if that’s what you’d like.

Let us know how you’d like to move forward! Thanks!

EDIT: My colleague (Denise) told me you reached out to her directly. Please continue the conversation via DM with her. Thank you!
