Merging community accounts

There is no option for merging community accounts. It's OK to have multiple community accounts, but we recommend having and using just one account. This is limited because of the complexity to manage these changes. More importantly, community users have difficulty knowing who they have interacted with, or who may have helped them in the past. Our community moderators come to know the community members by name and if the community usernames are changing, they have to review content in more depth and detail.

Changing your community username

When choosing a username in the community, it's important to know that the username you choose will be visible to the public. We suggest using your first name and last name initial, following this format: firstname_lastinitial (e.g. Matthew_N for Matthew Nichols).  

We also recommend consistently using the same username, so all community members can easily recognize each other - thereby leading to a greater sense of community and belonging.

However, we understand that there can be certain reasons in which it's important to change your username, such as changes to your name or company, or privacy regarding your real name. To change your community username, please complete this form and a member of the Google Cloud Security Community team will be in touch with next steps within 2-3 business days.

Caught in a loop

If you are returned to the community homepage when trying to log in to your community account, please try clearing your cache. Be sure that you are not trying to log in to the old Google Cloud Community URL. If this does not resolve your issue, please reach out to gcs-community@google.com and we will contact you.
