Change a password
In Settings → Profile, under Sign-in, choose Change Password. Enter the current password, the new password and confirmation, then choose Change. You stay signed in here, and every other device is signed out. Resetting a forgotten password signs out every device. If you cannot sign in, use Forgot? on the sign-in page instead.
- Enter your current password.
- Enter the new password.
- Repeat the new password before choosing Change.
Before deleting
Download a copy of your data first: in Settings → Privacy & security, under Your data, choose Download my data. We email you when the ZIP is ready; it holds your CVs and cover letters as PDFs, the files you uploaded and everything else as a data file.
You can't delete your account while you are the only owner of a workspace that has other team members (make someone else an owner, or remove them, first), or while you are its only team member and its subscription still gives Pro (cancel it and delete after the paid period ends). If you pay for Pro, deleting your account stops it from renewing; it keeps running to the end of the period you paid for.
If you bought Pro in the WhizCV app for Android or iPhone, Google Play or the App Store bills it, and deleting your WhizCV account does not cancel it. Cancel it in the store first. On Android, open the Play Store app, tap your profile picture, then Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → WhizCV → Cancel subscription. On an iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions → WhizCV → Cancel Subscription. The deletion dialog reminds you of this too.
Read the deletion dialog carefully. It explains the 30-day recovery window and asks for your email to confirm. Deletion signs you out and is different from archiving a single CV.
Recover within the stated window
For 30 days after deleting, sign in again with the same account to restore it. Your documents, files, images, job search, interview practice and copilot chats come back. Some things do not: your place in any workspace and what you shared with it, a workspace in which you were the only team member (the people it supports do not count: their work with it ends and we email them), your activity history and any data download you prepared. Your comments lose your name on every document, your own included, and restoring the account does not bring the name back. Share links you turned on keep working during the 30 days, as long as your plan still allows that document to be shared, so turn them off first if they should stop straight away.
After the 30 days the account is deleted and cannot be recovered. The Privacy Policy lists the little we keep.
