Log on user name for Garmin

 

I have a user name with Garmin and it is an almost forgotten email address. Does anyone know how to change that?

All I seem to get is to change my email address, address and password but not the log on name.

Can anyone shed some light on this please.

My guess

From looking through myGarmin and its myAccount, I don't see that it can be done.

This is pretty normal for sites that have log ins. User names generally can't be altered by the user and require asking a site administrator to make the change for you--if they'll do it at all.

One option would be for you to unregister all your current devices (Important!) on myGarmin, then log off and create a new myGarmin account with a new user name and register all your devices to the new account. But if it were me, I'd just continue with the current account and old email address as user name. Do you use any Password Manager software? That could help either with auto-log ins, remembering all your names and passwords or both.

User name

I use a program to store all my user names and passwords.

But I also use Mozilla Firefox which will store all those in almost all cases and insert them, except my credit card and bank account.

So as you suggest it may not be worth trying to make a change.

Thx

If you call the Garmin support line, they should be able to change it for you.

I did this myself for the same reason; getting rid of an old email. I emailed Customer Service and they made the change for me.
