I believe the answer is:

username

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'handle' is the definition.
(I know that handle can be written as username)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for username that I've seen before include "Something needed for logging in" , "Electronic identity" , "Computer log-in requirement" , "Login ID" , "Person's computer ID" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
