You can delete your LastPass account by logging into your Vault and using your master password, or by having LastPass email you a link to delete your account without it.Jacob Lund/Shutterstock
To delete a LastPass account, you'll need your email and the master password you created to log in to your Vault and confirm the account deletion.
You can delete a LastPass account without a master password by going to https://lastpass.com/delete_account.php and deleting your account through an emailed link.
When you decide to delete your LastPass account, your account data will be permanently and irreversibly erased.
LastPass is a free online service that manages your multitude of passwords through encryption. It's a useful service if you have multiple accounts and find it difficult to remember or securely store your various account logins. But it's a service that's increasingly being offered by web browsers themselves, making LastPass for some obsolete.
If you're ready to delete your LastPass account, you can do it right from your computer, but the process will differ slightly depending on whether you know your master password, or if you've forgotten it. Either way, all that's required is the email and, if you have it, the master password you used to register your account.
Here's how to delete your LastPass account with and without your master password.
