How to delete your AdultFriendFinder account

Published

on

Maybe you’ve found your special someone and want to demonstrate your commitment by officially delisting yourself as a single person, or maybe you just need a break from online dating in general — whatever your motivation, AdultFriendFinder makes it easy to delete your account and scrub your profile data for good.

First, understand that deleting your account is a distinct action from cancelling your Gold membership. If you want to continue using AdultFriendFinder for free, or just want to stop your monthly payments, you can do so without deleting your entire account. The action of account deletion is considerably more permanent. You’ll lose all of your profile info, all of your chat history, and all of your settings.

If you still want to go ahead, you can choose whether to delete your account via a web browser or on your phone. The steps are different but the result is the same. But one big heads up for phone users: merely deleting your AFF app is not enough to delete your account. Let's get into it.

How to delete your AdultFriendFinder account on your phone

AFF doesn’t have an official app in either the Apple App or Google Play store, owing to their NSFW content, but lots of AFF users still use phone-based workarounds for AdultFriendFinder, often via a web-based shortcut on their home screens.

Simply deleting your AFF app icon will not delete your account and the data and history pertaining to it. To delete your account via your phone, follow these steps:

Total Time

  • 2 minutes
What You Need

  • Smartphone

Step 1:
Log in to your account as usual, using your username and password credentials

Step 6:
You’ll be prompted to enter your password one last time, to confirm your identity and intention

Account deletion is final and irrevocable, so be sure that you’re prepared to lose all of your contacts, chat history, and profile information permanently before you click that final confirmation. And if, for any reason, the above steps haven’t worked for you, you can always visit the AFF Help Center, where they have visual guides for common on-site activities, including account deletion.

NYT Connections Sports Edition today: Hints and answers for March 8, 2026

Published

on

By

Today's Connections: Sports Edition is easy for people who watch women's sports.

As we've shared in previous hints stories, this is a version of the popular New York Times word game that seeks to test the knowledge of sports fans.

Like the original Connections, the game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier — so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for the latest Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

What is Connections: Sports Edition?

The NYT's latest daily word game has launched in association with The Athletic, the New York Times property that provides the publication's sports coverage. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake — players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Here's a hint for today's Connections: Sports Edition categories

Want a hint about the categories without being told the categories? Then give these a try:

SNL Cold Open has Colin Josts Hegseth dodging Iran questions

Man in blue suit speaks in front of a podium

As confusion and fear rage over the U.S.-Iran war, Saturday Night Live takes the opportunity to inject some levity into it. This week, Weekend Update host Colin Jost returned as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to give a press conference about the ongoing conflict.

The fratty Hegseth first appeared doing a "hegstand" with "Sprite" (wink wink) before combatively engaging with the media. "We're treating Iran like the breathalyzer in my car and blowing it the hell up," said Jost's Hegseth. He denies that what's happening is a war, instead calling it a "situationship," and makes a "your mom" joke rather than answering whether they'll actually have boots on the ground.

Fired Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also made an appearance, played by Ashley Padilla, to give a sendoff.

"I just want to make it clear that I didn't get fired," Noem said. "I self-deported."
