/account/deactivate is not implemented. An account made in moho - registration works - can only be closed from another client.

Small, and the kind of thing that is only noticed at the worst moment.

Finished.

/account/deactivate behind the same UIA password dance, and the cleanup this machine does afterwards rather than instead — the crypto store in particular, which left behind would be adopted by the next account added under the same id: a device the homeserver has forgotten.

erase is its own checkbox and off unless asked, because it is a much larger decision and a server is allowed to ignore it — so the wording asks rather than promises.

Last on the panel and separated by being last, since nothing else there is irreversible. It says what it actually does, and says plainly that removing the account from moho is the other, reversible thing.
