HCP Account

Learn how to create an HCP account, manage your account settings, and remove your account.

Account geography

To meet data residency requirements, HCP requires separate accounts for the global and European geographies.

To create a global HCP account, sign up on the HCP portal. To create an HCP Europe account, sign up on the HCP Europe portal.

For more information, refer to HCP Europe.

Create an HCP Account

You can create an HCP account using one of the following methods:

Email and password
Single Sign-On through GitHub or an identity provider configured for an HCP organization

You can also use your HCP credentials to sign in to the following HashiCorp products and educational resources:

HCP Terraform: Refer to the HCP Terraform documentation to learn how to log in with your HCP credentials.
Tutorials: Step-by-step tutorials to learn HCP and other HashiCorp products
Discuss: Discussion forums where you can ask questions and product announcements
HashiConf virtual events: Resources for HashiCorp's bi-annual conference

Account Settings

You can review your account settings, change your password, manage email preferences, and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) from your account settings screen. Choose Account settings from your user profile menu to review basic information about your account.

Click Security in the sidebar to access additional features. You can perform the following actions on the Security screen:

Click Send password reset email to initiate the process of changing your password. Follow the instructions in the email to proceed.
Click Enable MFA to begin setting up MFA. Refer to the Multi-factor Authentication documentation for next steps.

Remove your account

You can remove your HashiCorp account from HCP, end your active sessions, and delete data associated with HCP. This action cannot be undone.

If you use your HashiCorp account to sign in to HCP Terraform, removing your account also removes your access to HCP Terraform. To regain access, sign in again with the same credentials or reset your password to recreate your HCP account.

You can use your HashiCorp account to sign in to other HashiCorp services, including HashiCorp Developer, Discuss, and the Certification Portal.

Eligibility

Self-service account removal is available to users who signed up with email and password or GitHub. SSO users, including SCIM-provisioned users, cannot remove their own accounts from the portal. If you authenticate using SSO, contact your organization administrator so that they can de-provision your account through your identity provider.

Before removal can proceed, HCP performs an automated pre-flight check. Removal is blocked if you are the owner of one or more HCP organizations. You must resolve all ownership dependencies before your account can be removed.

Warning

If your organization uses SSO, HashiCorp recommends maintaining at least one non-SSO user with administrative access. If all non-SSO administrative users are removed and SSO is later disabled, no local user may have sufficient permissions to administer the organization.

To resolve an ownership block, complete one of the following actions for each organization you own:

Assign the owner role to another user in the organization. Refer to Access management for instructions.
Complete the organization deletion checklist and delete the organization. Refer to Delete an organization for instructions.

Remove your account

Warning

Account removal cannot be undone. HCP immediately removes your access to organizations, projects, and resources associated with your account.

From your user profile menu, choose Account settings.
In the Remove account section, click Remove my account.
If your account is not eligible for removal, HCP prompts you with actions to take before you can proceed. Resolve any blocking conditions, and then repeat this procedure.
In the confirmation dialog, type REMOVE to confirm, then click Remove my account.

Your account is removed from HCP and you are redirected to the HCP sign-in page.
