How do I enable the screen to display the word welcome followed by the username?

That would be how you do it.

If it’s not working, post a link to your project.

You left a **lot** of blocks out of that screenshot!

When the user signs up with Firebase, you are storing their username from a text input in a data source:

Then, on your Login screen, you are using this function to get set the username:

So you need to troubleshoot that function. Start by setting labels to show the value of each variable in that function. What do you see in the labels when you do that?
