How to Delete an Old 1Password Account

It seemed like a great idea at the time: Sign up for a service where you can store all your passwords, so you can always look up an infrequently used password when you aren't quite sure. But like the best-laid plans, this one didn't work out as you expected, and now you've decided you want to delete an old 1Password account.

If it's not a service you want to use anymore, you'd be wise to delete an old account, especially one that would grant hackers access to all your important accounts if 1Password ever were breached. And if you're not actively using your 1Password account and it were hacked, 1Password also would be less likely to notice anyone had accessed the account since it sits dormant.

If you don't want to spend your valuable time trying to figure out how to delete a 1Password account, you'd be pleased to learn DoNotPay can take on the task for you.

How to Delete a 1Password Account on Your Own

1Password offers a couple of options for deleting an old account, both of which work through the website. There is also a slight variation if you are deleting a personal account or a team/family account. 1Password also offers options to cancel your subscription, in which case they will retain your data in case you decide to come back or to delete vaults or items within an account. The company warns that if you cancel your account, they erase all your data and it cannot be recovered.

1. Log in to your 1Password account.
2. Click on your name in the upper right corner and select My Profile.

Reasons to Delete Your 1Password Account

Forgetting passwords is certainly a problem, as 78 percent of people forget passwords within 90 days of creating them. Having a central repository for all of your passwords might be a good idea, but also can be a risky proposition. If your unused 1Password account should be breached, you're likely to lose money, risk future creditworthiness, and have to spend tons of time resetting passwords on all of your accounts.

You're better off just deleting your 1Password account and finding a less risky way of storing your many passwords. DoNotPay offers a simple solution to eliminate this risk.
