Hello @xpl-odoo I wrote a few comments:questions 🙂
Also, just a general, probably nitpick, comment but why use bold and not guilabel for a lot of the different options?

Let me know if you'd like to discuss any of my questions!

- You can set a specific password for your user to access a database by going to the
:ref:`database's settings <users/change-password>`; however, you will still be able to sign
in with your Odoo.com account password.

I'm not sure I understand this: is "your user" the user that's automatically created for the person who creates a db? (sorry not sure about this!). And if so, would that mean that that person would be able to sign into a db using two different passwords?

"your user" indeed means the user that's automatically created for the person who creates the DB (and that user is linked to the person's Odoo.com account). I tried to clarify.
Yes, you can then log in to a database using two different passwords (with your Odoo.com password or with the one set on the DB, if any). It's weird, and I'm not sure I should mention it, but it's the (confusing) way it works.

From the user portal, the delete option can be accessed by going to :menuselection:`My Account -->
Edit Security Settings --> Delete Account`. It can also be accessed by going to
`https://www.odoo.com/my/home <https://www.odoo.com/my/home>`_.

Just my personal opinion but I think we could give a bit more information about the steps, like we did in the old version of this doc.

Also, should we mention Trusted devices (and how you can remove them) and the "Revoke all" button --> what does that do exactly? does it remove all trusted devices?

As we have a rather in-depth documentation on 2FA (at database-level), I think a seealso could work here.
I don't see anything about Trusted devices here. Mind sharing where/how you find that? (maybe I'm just blind 😅 )

I personnally don't see this option; why? when would someone not be able to delete their account exactly?

I believe it's only disabled for Odoo employees.

and what about the Developer API key section? Should we at least refer to the documentation link provided on the page?

I didn't think dev mode would impact that page - thanks for pointing it out! After investigating, it's a relatively niche use (to download DB dumps) according to Antoine, hence why it's "hidden" under dev mode.
Still, I'll mention it and use the same link provided on the page, but I don't think it's necessary to explain further.

Creating an account on a database does not create an Odoo.com account. If the email address of

By "account on a database", do you mean a user? sorry i'm confused! 🙈

You can create a (customer/portal user) "account" on any DB (i.e., https://dbname.odoo.com/web/signup) by default. However, adding that information here may be superfluous/confusing, so I'll rephrase here :)
