Handle

A handle is your unique username on a social platform, usually shown after an @ sign.

People use it to find, tag and mention you. A handle that matches your brand name on every platform is easier to remember and harder to impersonate.

Handle in practice

Check availability early and keep handles consistent where you can. Changing a handle later can break old links and mentions, so decide carefully.

Before you choose, search the name on every platform you plan to use and look for lookalikes that could confuse people. Keep a record of who owns each account and which email address is attached, so access is never lost when someone leaves the team.

A handle is also a safety question. Turn on two-step login for every account, and keep recovery details with the business, not with one person’s private phone or email.
