Solution
Okta Verify account enrollment does not have an expiry date.
As long as the Okta User ID (00u...) remains the same, a change to an Okta account's username does not affect the Okta Verify enrollment and does not require re-enrollment of the Okta Verify account.
NOTE: The username displayed within the Okta Verify application does not update automatically and remains the old name. To update the displayed username, the user must re-enroll.
