Deactivate your account
In Zulip, you have a dedicated account for each organization you belong to. Deactivating your Zulip account in one organization will have no effect on any other Zulip accounts you may have.
Once you deactivate your account, you cannot register in the same organization with the email address you used before. If you are re-joining an organization, ask an organization administrator to reactivate your account.
!!! tip ""
You can find all the Zulip Cloud accounts associated with your email address
with the [**Find your accounts**](https://zulip.com/accounts/find/) tool.
If you have forgotten your account password, you can
[reset it](/help/change-your-password).
Deactivate your account
!!! warn ""
If you are the only owner in the organization, you cannot
deactivate your account. You will need to
[add another owner](/help/change-a-users-role) first.
