Not sure how i can elaborate anymore then i did ..
When i signed up i used a series of characters as i find that more secure then putting BOB or JOE for a username but when i post on the forums it shows the series of characters that i chose for my login,
I am wondering if there is a way I can change the display name on my account so that it will Show some other then my username.
... and if you understood this, then you'd know that security by obscurity is no security at all.Today more then ever we need to take IT Security more serious
by why would i want to give someone who wants to do my site harm 1/2 the puzzle to start with?
Here is the username now you just need to figure out the password. vs You don't have the username or password..
The simple way is to not post with your Admin account and keep it hidden. Problem solved.There needs to be a simple way in order to achieve more security.

The OP claims that not exposing the username is not giving 1/2 the puzzle - not exposing your admin account at all is not giving any of the puzzle.
Demote it and create a new administrator account.
