'online identifiers' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'unembarrassed brad abandons silly' is the wordplay.
'abandons' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'silly' indicates an anagram.
'unembarrassed' with 'brad' taken out is 'unemrasse'.
'unemrasse' with letters rearranged gives 'USERNAMES'.
