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:

Email

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.

  1. Log into your email account and search your archives for "second life".
  2. 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.

  1. Go to My Account: Login.
  2. Click Forgot your name or password?
  3. Enter your email address.
  4. Click Forgot Account Name.

Your Second Life name will be sent to you shortly.

KBwarning.png 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. Write down your account names somewhere you'll remember.
