Your username is different from your Riot ID. Your username is used to log into your account, but your Riot ID is your display name across all games. Your tagline is an up to five-character hash following your username. ..
Riot has released a new feature that allows players to change their Riot ID every 30 days. This makes it easier for players to customize their name and appearance.
How to Change Your Riot ID And Tagline
If you want to change your Riot ID, it’s easy and can be done in less than five minutes. To do this, you need to go to the Riot website and click on the “My Account” tab. There, you will need to provide your new Riot ID. After you have provided your new Riot ID, you will be able to log in and change your account information.
In many games, players are unable to have the same name. However, you can use the same display name or tagline as another player. All you need to do is make sure the combination of those two fields is unique.
If you want to use a username that is not within the rules, it’s likely that your account will be blocked. If you somehow manage to use an offensive name, Riot Games can force you to change it even if you’ve changed your name within the past 30 days - but don’t try and use this as a way of changing names often. It will more likely result in a ban. ..
How to Change Your Riot Games Account Password
To keep your account secure, you should change your Riot Games password at least every few months. You can do this from the same menu where you change your Riot ID and tagline. ..
If you forget your password, don’t panic. There are a few things you can do to try and get back in:
- Reset your password by going to the login page and entering your old password into the form field.
- If that doesn’t work, you can try using a different username and password combination on the site.
- If that still doesn’t work, you can contact the site’s support team and ask for help. ..
Is the Riot ID the Same as My League of Legends ID?
If you’re a longtime LoL player, you may be unfamiliar with recent changes Riot Games made that merged all of your accounts into a single access point. Your old League of Legends account needs to be shifted to a Riot Games account. ..
Once this is done, you can sign in the same way you always have. If you don’t already have a Riot Games account, you’ll need to make one. You can sign in through your email account with Gmail. You can also choose to connect your Gmail, Facebook, or Apple account to an existing Riot Games account.
If you want to keep things fresh, don’t be afraid to change your Riot ID and tagline. You can shift it to suit whatever clan you’re playing with or to represent your favorite character. Just make sure to keep it separate from your login information so that a salty Teamfight Tactics or League of Legends: Wild Rift player can’t try and use it to gain access to your account. ..
