The problem with fragmented identity
When every place uses a different name, people struggle to recognize that all the content belongs to you.
If your profile URL, email, projects and services do not share one identifier, your professional presence becomes fragmented and harder to remember.
Handle is the identity core
Every way people find, recognize and share you can begin with the same name.
A handle is more than a URL. It connects your profile, content, sharing touchpoints and verification signals into one system.
Short and readable
Prefer a clear personal or brand name.
Use it long term
Avoid temporary strings or too many numbers.
Avoid confusion
Do not impersonate a person, company or organization.
Uniqueness and identity protection
A handle belongs to only one account at a time.
A good handle should be readable, memorable and stable enough to become a long-term identity.
Managing changes
Forwork should clearly state whether a handle can be changed, whether old URLs redirect, and whether previous email or subdomain addresses remain active.
Protection and impersonation reports
Handles that cause confusion, impersonate others or infringe trademarks should be handled under policy and through the Report channel.

Can I change my handle?
The production page should accurately state the handle-change policy, old URL redirects, change limits and effects on email or subdomains.
