The present invention provides a method for customizing customer identifier. To resolve the problems in customizing the identifier in the electronic device by the manufacturer for its customers, such as high management cost, stock, and possibility of error, as well as the security problem in customizing the identifier by the customer itself, and the problem of counterfeiting by others, the method provided comprises generating an irreversible identifier from a seed data input by the customer using some one-way algorithm(s) and storing that identifier in the electronic device. For the manufacturer, both the management cost and the stock are reduced, and the error possibility of the product after leaving the factory as well. For the customer, the security of customizing the identifier is ensured, and its identifier cannot be counterfeited by other peers any more.
