# Setting up your profile

Set your name and choose a username before entering the app.

After your account is created, Pablo asks for your name and a username. This screen appears once and cannot be skipped.

## Your name

Enter your first and last name. These are used to personalize greetings throughout the app.

## Your username

Your username is your public handle — other users can find you by it when your profile is set to public. It appears as **@username** across the app.

**Rules:**

* 3 to 20 characters
* Letters, numbers, and underscores only

As soon as you finish typing your name, Pablo automatically suggests a username based on it. You can keep it, edit it, or tap one of the alternative suggestions shown below the field.

Username availability is checked in real time. If your chosen username is already taken, up to three alternatives are offered as one-tap chips.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can change your username later from your Profile settings.
{% endhint %}

## Continuing

The **Continue** button stays disabled until your name is filled in and your username has passed validation. Once active, tap it to move into the app — Pablo will then guide you through the taste quiz.
