## Passwords

We love our security and hope that the hacker's account remains super secure as well.

A good leap towards account security is using a strong password, or even better a passphrase.

We suggest hackers to refer to best password/passphrase practices and set passwords that are not easy to crack/guess.

## KYC Verification

In order to be eligible for bounty payouts, all bounty hunters require to go through a KYC Verification through the BugBase platform. Below are the steps to get KYC Verified, this process generally takes **5-7 Business Days** from filling the form to get KYC Verified on the Platform.

## Deleting Account

All sensitive data related to your BugBase account would be deleted.&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
This is an Irreversible process and will delete all account data permanently
