It’s been a little over a month since Facebook launched vanity URLs making it easier for users to direct others to their account. Before the launch of Facebook vanity URL, a profile URL was a scramble of letters and numbers. Anyway, although Facebook hasn’t officially made it public it seems like you can choose your username once again. One of the reason could be because when Facebook launched vanity URL there was a mad rush among users to register what they wanted. Some played prank on their friends, some registered usernames that were actually brand names and so on and so forth.
If you were unable to grab the username you wanted the last time, you might be in luck. Facebook is allowing you to change your username one more time. The message says that the change will be permanent but then again that’s what they said last time. Go ahead and try your luck if you want to change your username. Follow the steps below to check and see if you can grab the new vanity URL for yourself,
- Log on to facebook
- Point your mouse to settings on top right. Click on Account settings.
- Click on “change” next to username
- Check to see if the username you want is available.
- If the username you want is available click confirm.
Before you click confirm make sure that’s what you want as your vanity URL. This might really be the last time you can do so.
