# How To Delete your BetterShield Hub Account?

Delete your BetterShield Hub account after leaving or handing over workspaces and confirming the permanent effects.

In **[BetterShield Hub](/bettershield-hub/)**, **Delete your account** on **Settings › Account** permanently removes the Hub account after its workspace responsibilities are resolved.

_**Note:** Sign in to your free [BetterShield Hub](/bettershield-hub/) account. Your workspace role and site permissions determine which information and actions you can use._

## What it does

The deletion flow explains what happens to memberships, personal security methods and account data. Hub can require a recent sign-in, passkey, authenticator code or emailed code before completing it.

## Step 1: Open the feature

Transfer any workspace you own or delete it deliberately.

## Step 2: Delete your BetterShield Hub account

- Leave workspaces you no longer need.
- Export data you are authorized to keep.
- Open **Settings › Account** and select **Delete your account**.
- Read the confirmation, provide the requested proof and confirm deletion.

Account deletion is off until you start and confirm it.

## Recommended settings

Our advice:

- Use **Leave this workspace** when only one membership should end.
- Confirm another owner has ongoing work before deletion.
- Disconnect personal assistant connections first.

## What it can break and how to undo

Deletion ends your Hub access and cannot be undone. A new account does not restore the deleted account's memberships, passkeys or history.

Stop before the final confirmation if any workspace ownership or record is unresolved.

## Final Outcome

Hub refuses deletion while an ownership requirement remains.

- Successful deletion signs the account out.
- The deleted sign-in no longer opens the old account.
