After the QR code is scanned the tenant name is shown in the authenticator app, I succeeded to change the tenant name by my company name but there still be shown like this :\< mycompanyname&algorithm=SHA1&digits=6&period=30 \>  
How can i get rid of the rest and just keep the “mycompanyname” ?

Hi @nesrine.hamrouni, and welcome to the Auth0 Community!

Can you please provide me with screenshots in a DM of where “&algorithm=SHA1&digits=6&period=30” is being shown and of your **Friendly Name** field set in your Tenant Settings as mentioned in [this](https://community.auth0.com/t/change-issuer-name-within-the-guardian-app/123192) Knowledge Article?

Thank you!

Sincerely,  
Teodor.
