What is an SID?

So if you don't already know there is a small tag at the bottem left of your screen in the lobby something along the lines of

SID: (insert a bunch of numbers and letters) 

What is this used for and can someone do something with my account if they know these digits? Please anwser I'm worried

Thanks

  • This is true. But you can always be tracked by others players from your ID, which is displayed as team mates, spectating or kill cams. This is to help w/ reporting users. The Anonymous mode only changes your name to some generic name based off the legend you're using and does not change your ID. Streamer mode is a feature that removes player IDs from your screen to help w/ privacy of the other players in the match, which most streamers don't use.

    Although it does not reveal the EA account, it still can be used to identify someone.

    So I don't have to worry about it getting leaked? 

    If so thanks for helping

    Thanks
