Since when logout comes with a "we'll delete your account if you don't log back in in 30 days"?
This is just an atrocious flow. A better approach would be a "temporary emergency block", and then give the user a week to sort it out, otherwise the account is automatically reinstated.
- ruszki 3y agoWhile 30 days sounds extreme, I’ve got plenty of warnings in the past 25 years from sites which wanted, and did delete my account because I didn’t visit their site in a specified timeframe, like half a year, or a year.
- pmontra 3y agoI got one from Discord a few days ago. I didn't check if it was real or phishing, and I didn't check my password manager. I can't remember why I would have created a discord account so I'll let it go. Maybe I was self squatting.
- rcheu 3y agoThe 30 days thing is likely from GDPR requirements. You cannot keep user data longer than that after they request deletion.
