Happy Summer from the Mission US Team! This July we are rolling out a new username generator, as part of ongoing website upgrades to ensure compliance with Mission US\u2019s Data Retention<\/a> and Privacy<\/a> Policies and to further protect students\u2019 personal data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting this month, all users creating new individual accounts <\/strong>will be served up a randomly generated username created from our word bank. Each new username will include 1) a color, 2) a historical word related to one of our missions, and 3) a number. If users don\u2019t like the username that is served up, they can customize the first two parts of their username. (They will not be able to control the number, which is served up in numerical order based on how many other users have the same first two parts.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, all users with pre-existing Student accounts <\/strong>will be prompted to select a new username created by the random username generator. (Users with pre-existing Teacher accounts will be able to keep their existing usernames.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note, this will NOT impact accounts created through the Teacher Dashboard<\/strong>. Those usernames will continue to be generated using the teacher\u2019s last name and first initial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope these changes will create a better, safer user experience for all! Please feel free to reach out to us at missionus@thirteen.org<\/a> with any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
