# Feature: Add Secure Account Deletion Functionality

[adityayadav176]

Description

Implement a secure account deletion feature that allows users to permanently delete their accounts and associated data.

Requirements

Backend

• Create DELETE /user/account endpoint.
• Verify user identity before deletion.
• Remove user-related data securely.
• Invalidate active sessions and authentication tokens.
• Optionally implement soft-delete functionality for account recovery.

Frontend

• Add "Delete Account" option in account settings.
• Display confirmation dialog before deletion.
• Show deletion progress and success/error notifications.
• Redirect users after successful account removal.

Security Considerations

• Require password confirmation before deletion.
• Log account deletion events for auditing.
• Prevent unauthorized deletion requests.

Expected Outcome

Users can securely delete their accounts while ensuring proper data handling and application security.

Hi @UTKARSHH20 ,

I would like to work on this feature. I plan to implement secure account deletion, including backend APIs, authentication checks, session invalidation, and the required frontend settings UI.

Please assign this issue to me.

Thank you!
