Decided to move away from LastPass? It’s time to say goodbye to your account by deleting your account. This ensures that none of your passwords are stored on LastPass’ servers. Here’s how to delete your LastPass account.
You can delete your LastPass account even if you have lost access to your master password (as long as you have access to the email address you used to log in to LastPass). In this guide we focus on how to delete your LastPass account if you know the master password.
It only takes a few clicks to complete this process. Once the LastPass account is deleted, you will lose access to all the information stored in your account. All your usernames, passwords, autocomplete data and personal identifiers will be permanently deleted.
Make sure you run your LastPass data before you start (you can then import it into other services like Bitwarden).

When you are ready to delete your account, you must first log in to your LastPass account and then open the LastPass page “Delete Your Account”.
Then click on the “Delete” button in the “Delete Your Account” section.
LastPass will ask you if you remember your master password. Click the “Yes” button.
At this point, LastPass will load a large pop-up message. If you have not already done so, you can click the “Export your data now” button to start LastPass data export in a new tab.
Then enter your LastPass master password and your email address. Choose a reason for deleting your account and then click the “Delete” button.
LastPass will ask you if you are sure you want to delete your account. Click the “Yes” button here.
After this, LastPass will ask you for confirmation one last time if you are really sure you want to delete your account. Click the “Yes” button.
Eventually you will be logged out of LastPass, and the website will tell you that your account has been permanently deleted. Once this is done, there is no way to get your passwords back. Click the OK button to return to the LastPass homepage.
