Press the key on the right of L before the vowel you want to put the accent on.
Here is a link scroll down the page you'll find lots of info on the Alphabet and how to get the keyboard. Also, read the TipsHints at the top left of the exercise page. Go to this link [https://www.duolingo.com/comment/22040507
For the simple reason that many learners were confused by the idea of having two letters together thinking there was another meaning that we decided to accept just d since that is the essence of the sentence. We've never had a learner incur difficulties in later lessons by hedging a bit on the ABCs.

I am running Windows 10. How are we supposed to type in Greek? I am typing English letters and it is saying I am right.
All you need to do is to access the Greek keyboard on your computer. There are several references on this page it is also shown at the beginning of the Tips & note.
Here it is again.

How important are accents in Greek? I wrote δελτα and it said 'watch the accent'. Can accents change meaning or are they just for pronounciation emphasis?
Accents are very important for pronunciation.
Yes, sometimes the accent changes the meaning. There aren't too many of those. (One example; χαλιά means carpets but χάλια means awful. No relation.)
The accent is considered a grammar issue and should be learned. And it will help you speak and understand spoken Greek.
Duo does not reject exercises without accents or with incorrect accents (unless it changes the word) but it does remind you. All the courses on Duo do that.
Typing the accent is so much easier than copy/paste that I strongly encourage all my students to get the Greek keyboard. In addition to the ease of writing here it is adding a new ability to your life.
Below there is a list of easy ways to get the keyboard and also how to find each letter on it. You'll be surprised at how quickly you'll get used to it.
See this for the keyboard on tablet and pc and other information.
