# What should I do if my Hideez Key was stolen/lost?

If only the Hideez Key is gone, but your computer and your phone are with you, then remove the Hideez Key from the Hideez Safe programs. Do not use the "Delete my account" command, since you will allow to use your Hideez Key to be used as a new device. No one can connect to or use your devices, if they do not know the password to your account. The Web server and the label are protected from attempts to guess the password.

If the Hideez Key was stolen together with an attached device, you will need to change the password on your Hideez account. After Hideez Safe programs are restarted, they will not be able to log in to the server and therefore will not be able to use the Hideez Key.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://key.hideez.com/faq/what-should-i-do-if-my-hideez-key-was-stolen-lost.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
