How to change macOS Monterey username

Users are an essential part of macOS and in the new macOS 12 Monterey edition they remain so since without an active user there is simply no way to work on the equipment, from the moment the equipment is configured, we must assign a user with their respective access password, but with the passage of time it may happen that we want to change the user's name for some reason, be it personal, work or security..

 

When we use the Mac for different tasks or it is a shared team, the creation of users is important to be able to manage its use. In addition, we must have a password in the Mac account to prevent them from entering easily. Changing your username in macOS Monterey is easy and let's see how to do it.
