Feature idea to prevent unintended user account deletion. #731

Description

@Boston-Crab

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, a user can delete their own account without the need for password confirmation, which can lead to unintended account deletion.

Describe the solution you'd like
At the very least, add a simple step requiring the user to enter their password before the deletion button becomes available for use.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Upon submission of the deletion request, there could be a grace period of X amount of time before the account is closed.
  • An email could be sent containing a confirmation link for the deletion to take place.
  • A double confirmation pop up could be implemented. For example: "Delete account?" -> "Yes", "Are you sure?" -> "Yes".

Additional context
I haven't had a chance to significantly check the codebase yet, so my suggestions should be taken with a grain of salt.
