564551 - Client needs a way to point to delete account

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Sync, defect)

Description

[Tony Chung [:tchung]]

If this is my own user error, please resolve invalid.   But i just realized that there's no way through the weave 1.3beta5 client to delete an existing account.   There's already a server hosted page to do this at: https://auth.services.mozilla.com/weave-delete-account, but there's no clear way through the setup or log out if i want to remove my weave account from the cloud, that i can point there through a link or something.

Can we get this added to 1.3?   It doesnt sit well with me that we dont have a clear way to guide users to get to the delete page.   Again, if i've overlooked a link or setting; please just disregard my complaint.   Thanks.

Repro:
1) install weave 1.3b5
2) create account, log in account, log out account, sync, do regular operations
3) No where in the client setup prefs, have i seen an option to delete an existing account, or a link that goes to https://auth.services.mozilla.com/weave-delete-account.

Expected:
- a link or button allowing delete an existing account at: https://auth.services.mozilla.com/weave-delete-account

This was only created so we'd have somewhere to point for people who asked on the mailing list. It's not intended as a mass part of the client. It certainly shouldn't be a 1.3 blocker.

what mailing list are you referring to?   when i install weave as a user, i certainly haven't ever seen an invitation to a mailing list or a place i can opt in on one.

This is something that we'll ideally link to from an FAQ/help doc, but I'm not convinced we need this in client UI.  Leaving as Future, absolutely not a blocker for 1.3.

I think this is fine as-is, "firefox sync delete account" via search gets you to the right place.
