LastPass is one of the most reliable applications that could store passwords, keep them secure for users, and automatically fill-in all login needs whenever asked by a website or application.
However, users are opting for a free version of the application and in the past week, the service is now requiring people to pay for the subscription and functions.
Because of that, many users opted for free applications which meant looking for alternatives that provide the same features and functions as LastPass, without the monthly or yearly subscription fee. Several of these free password manager applications include Bitwarden, Zoho Vault, and other apps that provide the same service.
If the user has already found a replacement candidate for its password management choice, chances are they would already leave LastPass in favor of the new application.
Why Should You Delete Your Account Before Leaving?
Wait for a couple of minutes before doing so and forgetting your LastPass account. Some users immediately leave the platform by logging out directly and never returning to the website or application, which may cause plenty of potential risks for one's identity, login, and saved passwords through its website and services.
According to How to Geek, to ensure maximum safety, have no passwords in other services, and other problems soon, users would have to deactivate or delete the account from LastPass's website.
Moreover, deleting the account would ensure that there are no leftover trails or data from LastPass's servers regarding one's log-in details.
LastPass: How to Delete Your Account
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.
