So.. my suggestion is simple as the title says, but I tell it more detailed.

Although - as far as I know - we've got two confirmation dialogs after clicking the "Delete Account" button, it won't ask the Account Password only two "OK - Cancel" dialogs will appear.

Then, what if somebody's loafing about my computer (or elsewhere), I can't leave or even if I log out, he/she could log in with saved password (at home in that case),
and could delete my account just for fun.

Not that I'm in danger - but I know some example when admin should have restored accounts, because a nasty nephew has decided to delete someone's account for purpose.
It would give me great comfort if we were asked to type the account password before deleting, at least in one of the confirmation dialogs..

..and Admin Jason would have less work with restoring accounts at all.

Simple, don't save the password.

At home?
I've set my PC a main password, but come on,
every other game has got a confirmation with password as well.

OK, even if I don't save password,
I couldn't go ie. to WC without logging out, because my nephew will delete my acc.
I don't care if he attacks someone or sg, but shouldn't be able to delete the acc.

i concur. Dont save your password.

Does he know the PC password?

No. lol... but don't tell me that I should power off PC.
And as I've said, maybe I'm not in danger, but I know examples of this.

i wasn't going to say that, but all you need to do is lock screen when popping away from your PC.

Yep, I know, good point.
But I've just suggested a safe option instead of a preventive one.

Maybe, admin will tell us on meeting if he is willing to code this,
or he doesn't have time for that nuance...

It couldn't hurt anyone, I hope you agree...

Easy answer, user accounts/ profiles are your friend

I say again, I don't have this problem.
However I know a story, that a crazy nephew deleted somebody's account, while he was almost THERE.
So should ppl fight with mouse between log out button, and delete account confirmations, then? OK, hit windows log out keys.

But still, my suggestion was simple, and for security reasons just like in other games.
I'm sorry that you are against this nuance.
If admin says it's needless then OK.

Everyone stop being so damn negative, its a good idea. What if you in a rush to go out and you have locked your screen but you havent or 1milloion other ways you thought you logged out but actually didnt. This is an idea that could in the long run save admin alot of work, and a lot of 'i accidentally deleted my account threads' even tho i dont think there has been that many of them...lol

If it saves the login password, chances are the program will read "Password:" and go, "hey, i'll be helpful and fill this delete password thing in for them, darn i'm good"

I know it does for most of my E-mail: fields

No, if you tell the browser to save it only for the login page.
Depends on the browser.

However it would be also helpful for those who don't save their password,
just they were in a rush and couldn't log out.

as long as u have a log on password on windows push down the windowsbutton + L on the keyboard and the pc is locked until u enter the password or just pull out the power cable to the screen

Better still, take an axe to your power supply
