I’m hoping to give users the option to delete their own account but this seems difficult as it isn’t one of the preset options on the firebase signin blocks. I may have to just have a ‘request account deletion’ otherwise? ---

Well, I found the way of doing that. First you will get the idToken off the account by signing in again but using the REST API following this documentation: [Firebase Auth REST API](https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/rest/auth#section-sign-in-email-password) After that you can have an easy POST request and the account is deleted: [Firebase Auth REST API](https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/rest/auth#section-delete-account) ---

Hi skulamester, would you have a practical example? the new apple rules require the user to be able to delete their own firebase user. Rule of 30 June 2022. Without this the app is blocked. Thank you ---

Hey @Coes_Italia ! You can use this block to delete the currently signed in user ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/4/b40ae4013584b17cd1b96ba65ed86347315b66e2.jpeg) ---
