Meaning of Username (What it is, Concept and Definition)

Username is an English word meaning “username”. It is the identification of the user to access a computer network or a certain service on the internet. For example, to participate in discussions in internet communities, it is usually necessary to indicate a username, which defines the participant's identity.

Some public sites have a private area, reserved for administrators or people with certain privileges. In order to gain access to these private areas, the user with permission to do so must enter the username and password previously defined
