Online identity in America, Spain, Niger and Albania leading to yours truly? (8)
I believe the answer is:
username
'online identity' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'america spain niger and albania leading to yours truly?' is the wordplay.
'america spain' becomes 'use' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'niger' becomes 'RN' (international vehicle registration code).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'leading' suggests taking the first letters.
'to yours truly?' becomes 'me' (the person that set this crossword).
The initial letter of 'albania' is 'a'.
'use'+'rn'+'a'+'me'='USERNAME'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for username that I've seen before include "Person's computer ID" , "Online identity" , "One's identifier on a computer" , "Login ID" , "Electronic identity" .)
