Which microformat schema should I use for username?

Question

I dont know, if I can use Person > name schema for username.

I was looking on schema.org vocabulary, but not found some better choice.

<div itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person">Username: <span itemprop="name">Selena</span></div>

Answer 1

No specific Property/item-type for "user" (As: online account username for person-X).

The name of the item. https://schema.org/name

The item is "user X" and the name of the item is riddick2004-new or john-pro-1234 (Valid).

You could add URL/sameAs to give extra data about the user.

EXAMPLE

On medium.com - each author (Nickname) clickable to inner-page (Full Profile page). Optional to add: "sameAs" to give more data about the user.

<div itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person">
  <a title="Rihanna Profile" itemprop="url" href="mysite/Rihanna-user-profile">
    Author: <span itemprop="name">badgalriri</span>.
   <link itemprop="sameAs" href="https://www.instagram.com/badgalriri"/>
  </a>
</div>
