If you can’t remember your Genshin Impact username, it could prevent you from accessing your account. To solve this:

You can try logging in using your email address instead of the username, but only if you previously linked your email to your account. If you didn’t link your email to your account, you won’t be able to use it for logging in.

In this case, you need to locate your Genshin Impact username. Once you have your username, you can use it along with your password to log in to your Genshin Impact account.

In this article, you’ll learn how to see or find your Genshin Impact username if you lost or forgot it.

Find your Genshin Impact Username

To find your Genshin Impact username:

1. Click on “Forgot password?” to reset your password.
2. After resetting your password, open Genshin Impact to view your username.
3. Before resetting your password, verify your email address.
4. Once your email address is verified, reset your password.
5. Resetting your password will display your Genshin Impact username on the login screen.

Note: If you’ve lost access to your email address, you cannot reset your password to find your username. In such cases, contact miHoYo for assistance at genshin_cs@mihoyo.com.
