Delete LastPass Account Fast & Remove Your Personal Data
Don’t let unused accounts put your privacy at risk. Delete accounts you no longer use to minimize the risk of data breaches, hacks, and identity theft. Our free tool makes it easy to find and delete old accounts in minutes.
Lastpass.com is a powerful password and access management platform that stores your credentials for accounts you use on the web. Features include a digital wallet, password vault, password generator, form autofill, and more.
If you decide to no longer use LastPass (maybe you’ve gone with a different management tool), then you should absolutely delete the account. According to this cyber security company, cleaning up unused accounts is a best cyber-security practice, especially an account that retains so much personal information.
In this guide we show you how to delete or reset a LastPass account as well as clean up other accounts that could be putting you at risk.
How to Delete LastPass Account
This process permanently and irreversibly deletes your LastPass account and data. This includes your sites, secure notes, and form fills. Once complete, you cannot recover any of this info. Learn more about this process and what information is retained in the LastPass Privacy Policy.

If you plan to keep using LastPass but want to delete your information from their system, you can reset your account. This essentially allows you to start over with the same email address but a new master password. It wipes out everything from the account so only go this route if you want to remove your information.

Reset / Delete LastPass Without Your Master Password
If you’ve forgotten your master password, it’s still possible to reset and/or delete your LastPass account as long as you have access to the primary email address. These steps assume you’ve already gotten to the step in the reset and deletion processes above that asks if you remember your master password and you selected “No” (after steps 1-6).
1. Enter the email address associated with your LastPass account.
2. Check your email for an account verification email. Click the confirmation link
Follow the remaining steps to finish deleting / resetting your LastPass account.
