Python/Discord Username changes prevents my bot from recognizing players

I am setting up a discord game which uses folders as profiles, how do I fix the problem that if someone changes their username the bot can no longer access their profile?

Usernames can be changed however User ID's cannot so you should use those instead, here's an example:

@client.command()
async def getUserID(ctx):
    userID = ctx.author.id
    await ctx.send(f"Your User ID is {userID}")

Use the UserID instead of the Username.

This never changes unless they change to a different account, so you won’t have to worry about usernames changing.
