What happens after canceling the account key?

After canceling the account key, you'll no longer receive notifications or alerts when someone tries to access your account. However, keep in mind that canceling the account key does not disable two-factor authentication (2FA) entirely. If you have 2FA enabled, you'll still need to enter a verification code sent to your phone or another trusted device to access your account.

Important note:

Before canceling the account key, make sure you have a backup plan in place to ensure the security of your account. You can consider enabling 2FA or using a password manager to generate and store strong, unique passwords for your account.
