The Fast and Easy Way to Delete Your LastPass Account

If you were in a situation where you needed to , would you know how? The threat of online hackers and identity thieves is at an all-time high, so having a service like LastPass makes sense.

In this post, let's look at how to delete your LastPass account from two points of view.

Delete Your LastPass Account Yourself

The idea behind LastPass is simple. Create an account where all of your passwords are kept in a virtual vault, and it can be accessed by one master password. LastPass uses your email address and your master password to generate an encryption key unique to your account and your account only.

Let's imagine that for whatever reason, you need to , but you want to save the data that has been stored in your LastPass account.

Do This Before Deleting Your LastPass Account

Before you attempt to delete a LastPass account you want to export all the data contained in the account. These are all your important login and passwords that have been stored in your LastPass account vault.

Follow these steps to export your LastPass data from the web extension:

Click Account Options from the LastPass extension menu.
Click Advanced.
Click the Export option.
Select the type of folder you want your data exported to, either the LastPass CSV file or the LastPass encryption file. The CSV file will be stored in your browser's download folder. The encryption option puts your data in a file that can only be accessed by your encryption file password.
You will be prompted to enter your LastPass account master password.
Data will be exported to the location of your choosing.

That exports all your sensitive data to a secure location on your computer or other devices.

You will need to export that data again directly from the LastPass website.

Here are the instructions for those steps:

Log in to your LastPass account.
From your dashboard, select Advanced Options.
From advanced options, click Export.
Your passwords will appear all together on one page.
Copy-paste this list into the secure folder of your choosing for later use.

Now that your sensitive data has been exported, you can proceed with deleting the account.

How to Delete Your LastPass Account With or Without Your Master Password

After logging in to your LastPass account, go to the account deletion page to see the different options for deleting your account.

When you get to the Account Deletion page and click Delete My Account, you will be prompted to enter your master password to continue. If you know your master password enter it and follow the prompts along the way to delete your account.

If you do not know your master password, click Forgot Master Password.

You will be notified that LastPass has sent a link in an email that you will follow to accomplish your LastPass account deletion.

Also, when you do get to the Account Deletion page, you will notice there are several choices regarding your account like:

Reset your account
Change your account-related email
Recover forgotten master password

If you have a lot of time to spare and patience, you might succeed in deleting your LastPass account.

Exporting your critical data, account deletion page buried on the website, and recovering lost master passwords contribute to a confusing and frustrating method of deleting your LastPass account.

There is a much easier and quicker way to do this.
