I Can’t Add Students: Solving "Username Already Exists"

Hello, fantastic educators! We know you're eager to get your students set up for success on Typing.com. If you're seeing an error message saying "username already exists," no worries! Here’s a quick and fun way to fix it:

  1. Understand the Rule: Usernames need to be unique across all of Typing.com, not just your school. This ensures everyone has their own special identifier.

    Get Creative with Usernames: If a username is already taken, try one of these fun alternatives:

    • Swap the order: Change "fernandocote" to "cotefernando"
    • Use initials: Try "fcote" or "fernandoc"
    • Add a unique twist: How about "fercot-2019"?
  2. Update and Save: Edit the username and save the changes. Voilà! Your student is ready to go.
