**DELETE** `https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/account/auth-key`

Use this endpoint to delete your account's AuthKey.


> **Warning**
>
> Deleting an AuthKey voids all associated Request Tokens. Deleting an AuthKey does not affect validated domains (that is, deleting a key does not void completed domain validations).


Additionally, if you have multiple AuthKeys assigned to your account, you can delete a specific AuthKey from your account by providing its unique identifier. This ID can be obtained using the [List AuthKeys](https://dev.digicert.com/md/certcentral-apis/services-api/account/list-authkeys.md) endpoint. Both active and expired AuthKeys can be deleted. To delete AuthKeys, use the following method and URL:

`DELETE https://www.digicert.com/services/v2/account/auth-key/{auth_key_id}`
