About your username

Your username is 3 to 30 characters: letters, numbers and underscores. It is how friends find you for Walk with me, so you never have to share your phone number. It must be unique.

Things to know

  • Each student can have one account, and one phone number can only be registered once.
  • Your phone number is checked by an SMS code, so use a number you can receive texts on.
  • If the code does not arrive, see I am not getting my verification code.
