What is the string of characters shown next to my display name?

Each chat user account has a string of four letters / numbers associated with it that was randomly generated when the account was created.

This is designed to prevent spoofing / impersonation given that display names do not have to be unique and can therefore be duplicative.

Note that while your display name and avatar can be updated at any time, this unique identifier is specific to your account and cannot be changed.

You should always use this unique identifier to ensure you're communicating with the intended user.
