The **Anonymous** user mode lets you after you’ve logged in to hide your personality, so no one can relate your question to your account. You might use it when you want more people to be able to see your question and help, but keep your personal/company anonymity for security or other reasons.

## How to enter anonymous mode

To enter anonymous mode:

1. Click your avatar in the site header.
2. Navigate to the user menu using the person icon

After selecting anonymous mode, a new username and avatar will be generated:

The username will follow the format `anonymous` plus a number, such as `anonymous1`. The first anonymous user created on the site will simply be `anonymous` without a number.

When you are in anonymous mode, any topics or replies you create will be posted under your generated anonymous username. No details will connect your anonymous user to your regular account.

## Exit anonymous mode

To exit anonymous mode and return to your regular user account:
