Username-based messaging for random private chat

Start with a temporary name for Match/Skip random chat, keep your phone number out of messaging identity, and claim within 24 hours if you want to keep the same handle — free in the browser.

Temp name vs phone-number messaging

Phone-number-based messaging services often treat your SIM identity as the address book key. Chatkode starts with a temporary name for random Match into private chat. That keeps personal numbers off the chat surface and makes Skip a normal part of finding a good conversation.

Tips for choosing a name

Prefer something you are comfortable showing in random chat. Avoid reusing passwords. If you claim later, the same identity can stick. Read how to choose a private chat username.
