MatthewH.10249 (State of Iowa) asked a question.
We changed our usernames/emails awhile back and while Okta Verify still works fine on my phone it still shows my old username/email. Only option I know of to resolve this is to remove that account from Okta Verify and add it back. Does anyone know of a way to just get the username/email to show up with the current value?
Hi @MatthewH.10249 (State of Iowa) , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community!
Re-enrolling the app is currently the only way to update the information.
I would typically recommend submitting an Idea for this use case, but I checked and there seems to have been an older one that was rejected as it did not get any traction.
If my answer helped, remember to mark it as best to increase its visibility for other members of the Okta Community who might have the same questions as you.
Hope my answer helps!
