Entry ID when menus are encrypted (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

username

'entry id' is the definition.

'menus are encrypted' is the wordplay.
'encrypted' indicates an anagram.
'menus'+'are'='menusare'
'menusare' is an anagram of 'USERNAME'.

'when' is the link.

(Other definitions for username that I've seen before include "Login ID" , "Online identity" , "Person's computer ID" , "Electronic identity" , "Log in identifier" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
