# kiste account

> Download your account's data, or delete the account.

```text
kiste account <COMMAND>
```

**Examples**

```text
kiste account export              Save everything Kiste stores about your account as JSON
kiste account export -o -         Print the export instead of saving it
kiste account delete              Delete the account (asks for its e-mail and password)
kiste account delete --confirm you@example.com --password-stdin < password.txt
```

## kiste account export

Save everything Kiste stores about your account as one JSON file.

Files inside your Kisten are not part of it: copy those out with `kiste scp` or `kiste ssh`.

```text
kiste account export [OPTIONS]
```

| Option | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `--output PATH`, `-o PATH` | Where to save it (default: kiste-account-export-`<date>`.json here; `-` prints it) |

## kiste account delete

Delete the account: every Kiste with its disk, every snapshot, API key, webhook, environment and image, and the account data. Cannot be undone.

```text
kiste account delete [OPTIONS]
```

| Option | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `--confirm EMAIL` | The account's e-mail address as confirmation (asked when omitted) |
| `--password-stdin` | Read the account's password from standard input instead of asking. |

Global options such as `--json` work with every command; see [the CLI overview](https://docs.kiste.run/cli.md#global-options).
