The avatar name you created during registration is required to login to the Second Life virtual world. Whether you created a single avatar name to check out Second Life and haven't used it in a while (welcome back!) or have multiple accounts and may have forgotten one of your avatar names, here are a couple of ways you can retrieve your name information:
Registration of a new account requires an email address. Once registration is completed, a confirmation email is sent to your email address on file, providing the avatar name you selected.
- Log into your email account and search your archives for "
second life
". - Look for an email that contains your login name in the subject line: "Welcome to Second Life, <YOUR NAME HERE>!"
My Account
An avatar name is required to log into your My Account page. However, there's an option that sends you an email if you've forgotten your account name or password.
- Go to My Account: Login.
- Click Forgot your name or password?
- Enter your email address.
- Click Forgot Account Name.
Your Second Life name will be sent to you shortly.
Warning: If you have multiple Second Life accounts registered with the same email address, this only sends you the name of the first account you signed up with. This is a known system limitation. Before you ever have to use this form, write down your account names somewhere you'll remember. |
