You are prompted to verify your identity:
- If you use MFA, you are prompted verify your identity with your chosen MFA authentication method.
- If you use Google SSO, MongoDB sends a code to your email address. Use that code to verify your identity. Accounts that use Google SSO are automatically unlinked as part of the account deletion process.
- If you don't have MFA configured and don't use Google SSO, you are prompted to re-verify your password. Then, MongoDB sends a code to your email address. Use that code to finish verifying your identity.
Your account is deleted.
