About Stack Overflow profiles

How Stack Overflow usernames work

Stack Overflow profiles use numeric IDs plus a readable name slug.

Typical profile URL: https://stackoverflow.com/users/<id>/<handle>

Tips for finding accounts

Use the numeric ID from old answers if the handle no longer matches.

Profile visibility

Display names change while numeric IDs remain stable.
