Every MITx Online account requires a unique public username. Due to the large number of users on our platform, it is possible that your preferred username may already be taken. If you encounter this situation, you will see a message stating, "It looks like this username is already taken."
In such cases, we provide suggestions for alternative usernames. Simply click on one of the suggested options to use it for your account. Please note that usernames can include letters and numbers, but should not contain spaces or special characters.
If you are having difficulty finding an available username, we recommend adding numbers to increase its uniqueness. This can help you secure a username that aligns with your preferences.
