After you click “Edit,” a spot will be made available for you to update your username. It will prompt you for your Oculus account pin after you have changed your username as a security measure.

A verification email will be sent to the email address you have associated with your Oculus account once you have completed all the required modifications to your username.

After that, all you have to do is open your email and click the link Oculus sent you so they can confirm this is really your Oculus account once more.

The first thing you will want to do when setting up or creating your Oculus account is to go to oculus.com, which should take you directly to store.facebook.com.

If you don’t already have a Facebook account, you can easily set one up, which shouldn’t take long. All you have to do is click the “Facebook account option” sign-up button below the login. Creating a Facebook account is completely free, and you do not need to enter any credit card or debit card information.

So, once you’ve created or have an existing Facebook account, the next step is simple: simply click on “Log in using your Facebook account.” After logging in with your Facebook account, you will see a message on the screen asking if you want to keep using your Facebook username.

When you click it, you should be taken to a new page that says, “Welcome to Oculus.” Then you should scroll down until you see a button that says “Continue as a new Oculus user.” Once you click on “continue,” it will take you to another page to set up your VR profile.

From there, you can create a username that you like, click on “continue,” and then you can create an Oculus PIN that you are comfortable with and can remember. It should then ask you to confirm your email address, and then you can go ahead and click on “continue.” Once that is done, you should have created your Oculus account.
