I am using this name instead of my usual Mumsnet "handle" for certain posts. At the moment,I need to ensure anything posted under this name cannot be accessed by dh.

He knows my usual name and my email address and could probably guess my usual password.

I'm confused about how to completely protect certain threads on here.

When I try to log in, if I type my usual Mumsnet name, instead of the one here, I can still login as normal. I thought that would not be possible.

Then I think, ok, change my password, but it's easy to find that out if someone knows your email address.

Can someone tell me how to sort this out, or am I being thick and missing something v obvious?

Hello,
Just to clarify, your registration is tied yo your email address. Even if you change your nickname this is so. If someone knows your nickname and password - or your email address and password - then they can log in as you. This is why you should make your password something that no-one will guess.

You can only use your "current" nickname to log in. You can't log or post in with an old one, but you can switch back and forth between nicknames on the member profile page. Only you can do this though. Once you've used a nickname, no-one else can.

Regards,
tech
