Terminal message

Hello acevent,

The name that appears there is the name of the user that is currently logged in. https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/change-users-groups-settings-mtusr001/mac. Is it possible it's the username and you forgot what it was set to/as?

If you do not recognize the user you should delete it - Delete a user or group on Mac - Apple Support. But again, the terminal shows the last logged in user and/or the user currently logged into the terminal.

when I start Terminal with my Mac Pro, this is the default string I just got:

Last login: Sun Jun 25 14:47:01 on ttys000
Grant@GrantsMacPro ~ % 

Grant is my account-short-name

GrantsMacPro is my computer name, changeable in the Sharing control panel

tilde [~] is an active shorthand for "currently-logged-in user directory" ...

... and tells what the default directory is at this moment

.

Sorry I thought you were talking about the username, that is my mistake. The name after the "@" symbol is the hostname of the computer or the server you're connected to - Change your computer’s name or local hostname on Mac - Apple Support.

I'm assuming your Mac isn't named "@Faridas-iPhone." My best guess the computer is connecting to an SSH client/server on an iPhone.

What happens when you type `exit` or `logout`.
