Account Management
Logging out, resetting your local data, and deleting your account. These are the three "step back from the app" options.
Logging Out
Logging out ends your session on the current device:
- The app returns to the login screen.
- Cached data on the device is cleared, except for the encryption key (so if you log back in, you don't have to re-enter a recovery code).
- Your account and server-side data are untouched.
Logging back in restores the app's state from the server and your cached key.
You can log out from Settings at any time. Useful if you're handing your device to someone temporarily.
Resetting Local Data
"Reset local data" clears everything on this device but leaves your account alive:
- Cached data is wiped.
- The encryption key on this device is cleared.
- Unsynced changes are lost.
- Account and server-side data are untouched.
The next time you sign in, the device re-downloads everything from the server. If the encrypted content is supposed to be readable, you'll need to recover your encryption key via a recovery code or transfer it from another device. Otherwise the encrypted content will download as ciphertext and stay unreadable.
Reset local data is useful if:
- The app is misbehaving on this device and you want a clean slate.
- You're switching devices and want to clear the old one first.
- You suspect the cache is corrupted.
Deleting Your Account
Account deletion is the nuclear option. It removes:
- Your account record.
- All your encrypted data (ciphertext on the server).
- Your equipment, gold, silver, achievements, arena history.
- Your leaderboard entry.
- Your profile and username (frees it for someone else to take).
Deletion is permanent and irreversible. Nothing of your account survives; nothing can be recovered.
The deletion flow has multiple confirmations because of the permanence:
- Tap "Delete Account" in Settings.
- Confirmation modal with a summary of what's being deleted.
- Type your username to confirm.
- Final confirmation.
Only after the final confirmation does the deletion actually run.
What Happens to Your Data After Deletion
After account deletion:
- Your encrypted ciphertext is deleted from our servers. Since we can't read it, we can't preserve it - but deletion means it's gone entirely, not just hidden.
- Your public data is deleted. Your leaderboard entry, your arena fight history (from your perspective), your profile - all gone.
- Your past fights you were in show as "Unknown" to the other player. They see the fight happened; they can't inspect your now-deleted profile.
Other players' records of fighting you survive in their history as "Unknown" opponent entries. We can't retroactively scrub their records; we can only scrub ours of you.
Anonymous Accounts
Anonymous accounts (accounts created without email) follow the same flows but with some nuances:
- Logging out of anonymous effectively loses the account - there's no way to log back in without the credentials you never created.
- Account deletion works the same way.
- Upgrading to registered is the safer path if you want to preserve your progress. Settings → Account → Upgrade.
If you've been playing anonymously and want to protect your progress, the first thing to do is upgrade to a registered account - this gives you a way back in later.
