Firstly a very happy new year to all coders here :) Hope this year brings lots of Accepted to you.
I have written this blog to help people who ask questions regarding how to change the handle. If you decide to change the handle, (and you thought twice about it, because it is irreversible and can be done only once) , this blog might help you.
This is a new year gift from codeforces and only valid for the first ten days.
Follow the mouse pointer and you are done!!!
I'm using gmail to login so I don't have password for my account.
what should I do?
Try to use "Forgot your password" link
I can't change my handle from
Bayramtobayram! x( Can anyone tell me how ?That is because the handle names are case- insensitive. You can log in with both the names. Check it out !!
I changed mine from joudzouzou to JoudZouzou
UPD: Just noticed that the blog is 3 years old :D
You can change to another name. And after year change back to
bayram:PIs it allowed to re-change the handle another year once you have changed it this year?? I am not that sure..

Wait for 2021. Codeforces allows you to change your handle for first 10 days of each year.
thanks!
you can change your handle name in the first week or first ten days of the new year.
only once in a year, at the beginning of the new year

What should I do if I want to swap my handle with my friend's?
Well you cannot do that :( But it can be done if you can wait for a year :)
Actually, Mike stated that you can never have a handle that has previously be instantiated.
take your friends handle and password and login with it & give yours to your friend.

You can't change your handle at anytime, Changing Handle is only available in the first ten days of the year...
So you have to wait till 1-1-2017 :V
