What is a Cofelt ID and how do I find people?

Your Cofelt ID is a unique, shareable handle. It lets someone request a connection without making your name publicly searchable.

What a Cofelt ID is

A Cofelt ID is a short, stable code that stands in for you across the network (for example, XAR-AB12). Think of it the way you think of a username on another app. It is the thing you hand out when you want someone to find you, and the thing they enter to send a connection request.

You can find your own Cofelt ID on your profile. Share it anywhere you like: in a bio, in a message, on a card. It does not expire, and sharing it does not give anyone access to your account. It only lets them send you a request, which you are always free to accept or decline.

How to find people

People can enter your view through several paths.

  • By Cofelt ID. If you already know someone, ask for their Cofelt ID or share yours. Enter it in the connect flow, send a request, and they accept or decline. Once connected, you can open With privately and message each other.
  • Through recommendations. Cofelt can suggest people through relationship context and the settings you choose. A suggestion is not a public score or a decision.
  • Through the network. Mutual connections, Echoes, and thoughtful replies can create a human path to someone new.

The privacy stance

This is the part that makes Cofelt ID different from a normal username:

  • There is no public name search. People can reach you only through permitted paths that respect your privacy settings.
  • A Cofelt ID requests a connection, it does not grant one. Every request waits for your yes. You can leave it pending, decline it, or accept it. You can block or remove anyone in a tap.
  • Private signals stay private. The background you bring is used quietly to weight who fits you well. It is never shown as a filter, never used as a label, and never exposed to anyone.

So you stay in control of who finds you and who gets in. Your handle connects you to people; it never turns you into a search result.
