What is the difference between username and nickname?

Updated

There are some differences between usernames and nicknames, and their function in Khan Academy:

  1. Username
    • You are able to use your username to log into Khan Academy, just as you can also log in using your email.
  2. Nickname
    • This is how your name will appear around Khan Academy, and how your coaches and the Khan Academy community will recognize you.
    • You cannot use your nickname to log into Khan Academy.
