I don't think this is a dark pattern, but a better approach might be requiring the user to type in their account name. It's preventing an accidental deletion.

I like that Azure makes you type in the resource name before deleting it, I know I am not going to accidentally click the button.

I'd say performing an action wrong item when having lots of tabs/windows open is probably pretty common.



I like inserting the “delete” or other deliberate action message into the prompt. Entering a resource name feels far more developer-driven workflow.
