FAF only allows to use one account per player. To protect against players that create multiple new accounts to bash noobs/beginners (we are a small community and cant afford losing players due to this toxic behavior), you can only create one account per computer. Once the computer is linked to that account, no other account can login on that PC except both of these accounts are linked to different steam accounts (this makes it more expensive to create multiple accounts and thus reduces this problem).

Easy solution: try to login with your old account. If you dont remember the password, you can reset it on the FAF website.

I do not want to humiliate beginners. I want to change my nickname in game.
Is it realistic to do? I have an 1100 rating, if it certainly affects anything.

You can change your nickname on the FAF website (you need to login and an option for that will show up), there is no need to create a new account for that. Plz keep in mind that you can only change it once per month.

go here: https://faforever.com/

login on the top right (next to the "DOWNLOAD" button)

click the option that shows up in the drop down menu (the same you used to login) to change your name
