How to Change Name in MetaMask?

The MetaMask browser extension allows you to change the name of your account as many times as you want. You can also change the names individually for all the accounts you created. Here is a quick tutorial on how to do that.

But before changing the name, you should be aware that this name change will only be visible to you in MetaMask. Nobody on the blockchain would find out what’s the name of your account and even if you changed the name or not. Now that we’re clear on that. Let’s follow the procedure.

Open MetaMask:

Locate the MetaMask extension on your browser, open it and enter the MetaMask password. You can read this article if you forgot this password.

You’ll enter text editing mode. Make any alterations you want. Anything you enter in this textbox will become your account name hereafter. You can, of course, change it anytime you want. Clicking on the check mark next to the textbox saves the changes you made in the account name. That’s what we want. Therefore, we’ll confirm our changes by clicking on that.
