Figure A1. A screenshot of the user interface on Tumblr for account deletion. The interface is displayed to users after clicking the settings page's ‘Delete Account’ link. The UI asks them to authenticate to complete the permanent account deletion process, click the ‘Nevermind’ link, or click the browser's ‘back’ button to cancel.
