You should not change the username! For this, please go to the settings via the navigation menu (left side menu), tap on Manual setup and account options, tap on Identities, long press the main identity, and select to copy it.

The easiest way to create an alias address is to use the mini Create alias wizard. For this, please go to the settings via the navigation menu (left side menu), tap on Manual setup and account options, tap on Identities, long press the main identity, and select Create alias.
