Once you register for Hack The Box, you will need to review some information on your account. The Dashboard contains a few useful tabs that will allow you to navigate through your account settings. These will include general information settings, 2-factor Authentication setup, Subscription management, Badge progression, and more.


Profile Settings, Details & Security

To start, you can visit the Dashboard and click on the tab marked Profile Settings.

This will redirect you to the HTB Account page where you can find the User Settings tab. All the changes here will reflect in the HTB Labs account settings.

You can upload a Profile Avatar of your choice from User Settings under your HTB Account page, and click on Upload. The size must be in the range of 300x300 and 1000x1000.

Deleting the Account

If you'd like to delete your Hack The Box account, you can do it from the HTB Account Security Settings. To delete your account permanently, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to Your Account

  2. Navigate to Account Settings

  3. Initiate and Confirm the Deletion

    • Select the account deletion option, review the warnings carefully, and confirm your choice to proceed. Deletion is permanent, and all associated data will be anonymized.

Upon deletion, all your data associated with Hack The Box will be eradicated. This action is permanent, and no data is recoverable. All personal data will be anonymized as part of the deletion process, ensuring privacy protection. Additionally, accounts may be deleted under the HTB retention policy if no action is taken, as clarified in their Privacy Notice.


Subscriptions

If you'd like to manage your Subscriptions, become a VIP member, acquire a Pro Lab pass, or check anything related to your account and payments, you can select the Subscriptions tab.

From the VIP subscription menu specifically, you can view more details on what it can offer to new users. We strongly recommend switching to VIP after some time getting acquainted with the inner workings of the platform. It can accelerate your learning process by a large factor.
