Hi guys,
I am quite new to stock and when I signed up, I just used my first name, initial and postal code as my password. I am now looking to make a web site and potentially set up a symbiostock site but if I use the same neme, it looks pretty Blah. I would like to change my user name on all the agencies I have set up with, do you know if it's possible? (thought I'd ask before starting and getting stuck half way

here are the agencies I signed up with:
IS
SS
BS
canS
veer
DT
FT
123RF
PhotoDune
Pond5
Most

Thanks for your imput!

Hopefully you changed all your passwords! Otherwise do this as soon as possible.
Every agency and your paypal- or moneybookers account need a different password and it needs to be a difficult one.

The best I can advise you is to install a passwordsafe on your computer (like Keepass for example) and store your passwords in it. Then there is only one password you have to remember and it is a lot safer.

There has been a topic on this forum about someone using the same password for all agencies and Paypal and there was a lot of money stolen from his account.

For security reasons you should completely erase this thread and ask your question in general without details in a new thread. And, like Colette, I would advise you, change all your password in all agencies as soon as possible!!!
As far as I know it's inpossible to change a user name in most agencies.

You can change your username on iStock, but you have to ask CR to do it for you.

Some agencies will allow a name change. Others wont, 123rf for example.

Sorry guys! I made a typo, I used my name, initial and postal code for my username, so no worries about safety.

Thanks Shady Sue and Monty M gue, I'll look into it

Username may or may not be changed depending on agency, but for many of them (SS, FT for example) you can change the credit line/business name and that is what buyers see and credit you, so that should be good enough. You can also add it in a logo and place in your profile picture. Many agencies let you add your website to your profile too.
