Answer 1

you don't show the code you use to get the name, or what authentication your site is using. you should also specify if asp.net core or old framework.

Answer 2

This is similar to another one of your recent questions that asks how to get the user's computer name. Getting the user's system login username only works if all the computers are on an Intranet (internal network) and the network uses Windows Authentication. Then you can enable Windows Authentication in IIS to get the user's username.

Authenticating Users with Windows Authentication (C#)

If you are not building an Internet application then use a standard Authentication/Authorization framework like Identity to cache the user name in an authentication cookie. Use the "Individual Account" when creating a new web application in Visual Studio for example code.

Introduction to ASP.NET Identity

You tagged your post as ASP.NET. If you are building an ASP.NET Core application, then read the docs for Core.

Answer 3

For ASP.NET 4.x, you just need to make sure the right API is being used to learn the logon user. I wrote about that in this post a while ago.

No big change even if you are using ASP.NET Core.
