Hi,
I used the app to assign a username and had a problem with the UI causing a typo. How do I change my user name without changing my email address?

Hey @Brewer1ss , welcome to the forums... Not sure if you mean for Fing or these forums but for either you will need the help of the Fing folks to change it. @VioletChepil should be able to help once she's back on line.

Hi @Brewer1ss, to change the user name of a Fing account, please do the following, when logged into your Fing account:
Via the App:
1. Click on the Avatar in the top right of the App.
2. This will bring you to the 'Account & Settings' page
3. Click on the 1st option (again it will have your Avatar & the e-mail address of the account)
4. Click 'Edit' in the top right hand corner or the display.
5. You will have an 2 options: 'Select Avatar'/ ' Change account name'
Alternatively, you can also do this by logging in via the Web app on a desktop:
1. Again, click on Avatar
2. Choose 'Account'
3. You can then edit the 'display name' & click save
I hope this helps, but if there is anything else we can help with, let us know.

Hi @Brewer1ss
EDITED:
I believe admins must do this for you.
Can you please send me a DM with the new name you'd like and I'll update this for you?
