LastPass provides an easy way to use the function of deleting one's account and getting rid of any traces of users on its servers. Users would only need to head to the LastPass Account Deletion page to get started.

There are several options in the account settings website of LastPass, but choose the "Delete" button to get started. 

  • Users would need to Login their LastPass account and use the Master Password details to successfully access the account deletion. 
  • Users would be advised by LastPass to export data and download it to one's computer to gain access to a file that has all the stored passwords, usernames, email addresses, and other log-in requirements. This data can be used on other password manager applications including BitWarden, and more. 
  • LastPass would then ask users for confirmation if the account would be deleted. It would give another final warning which users would agree to both occasions to proceed with the account and data deletion. 
  • After the account deletion, users would be taken to another page that details how to uninstall the desktop application for Windows and macOS. After uninstalling on its respective operating systems, users would need to restart the computer.
