Instructions on naming or renaming an account listed in Duo MFA.

Solution

INFO: This process will only change the account name which appears from the Duo Mobile Android / iOS app. For instruction on changing the device name in the management console, visit How to name/rename a device in the Duo MFA management console at accounts.maine.edu

The Account name in Duo should default to "University of Maine System." It is recommended to keep the default name in order to differentiate your UMS Duo account from other services.

  1. Access the DUO app on your smart device
  2. Select the "..." menu for the account you would like to rename
  3. Select "Rename" in the resulting menu
  4. Select the "Account name"
  5. Type in the new account name
  6. Select "Save"
