anonymously
In secret identity
Anonymously means without revealing one's identity.
You can donate anonymously, post comments anonymously, or submit work anonymously.
The word implies deliberate concealment—the person chooses not to be known: The tip was called in anonymously.
Sometimes anonymously suggests blending into a crowd rather than active hiding: She moved anonymously through the city.
