Usersbenutzername

Usersbenutzername is a term that may appear in German-language software documentation or codebases to refer to the username associated with a user account. It combines the English plural "Users" with the German "Benutzername" and is not a standard technical label in most references; more common terms are Benutzername or username. The form is sometimes encountered in multilingual codebases or auto-generated UI strings.

In computing, the username uniquely identifies a user within a system and is used during authentication and access control. A username is typically stored as a string in a user database and is often paired with a password hash and user profile data. Whether the username is case-sensitive depends on the system; many platforms treat it as case-insensitive for login.

Design considerations include ensuring uniqueness, stability, and privacy. A username should be unique across the system, easy to remember, and not reveal sensitive information. Systems may impose length limits, restrict characters, and separate the display name from the login identifier. Best practices separate the username from the display name and use the user ID as the primary internal identifier.

Common implementations refer to the field as username, user_name, or login. Example: in a SQL schema, a users table may include username VARCHAR(50) UNIQUE NOT NULL, password_hash VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, and id as the primary key. In API payloads, a login field may be named "username" or "user_login".
