Revoke Passify access If you created a login, application key, or access/secret key pair specifically for Passify's use with a Provider, and you are no longer using that Provider, you should also remove it from the Provider's account settings once you're done with it. If you were using an OAuth-based provider such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or pCloud, you should consider Revoking Authorization for Passify.

Manually Removing Sync Data

Should you need to manually remove sync data from a provider that Passify is no longer connected to — for example when switching Sync Providers and leaving old sync data in place until the new provider is verified as working — you can do so manually.

The process for manual removal of sync data varies depending on which provider you are using:

  3. Delete the "Passify" folder

Delete the bucket if it was only used for Passify If the bucket was created specifically for Passify and isn't being used for anything else, you can delete the bucket itself instead of just its contents. Do not delete the bucket if you are storing other data in it, as this will remove everything in the bucket, not just Passify's data. Also keep in mind that deleting the bucket will prevent any other devices still syncing to it from being able to sync until a new Provider is configured.
