Deleting old accounts

Every account you don't use is a password that can still leak. This guide shows where each site hides its delete button.

8PWD only shows the way — it can't delete accounts for you and this isn't legal advice.

What the difficulty means

  • EasyA few taps in the account settings.
  • MediumTakes some steps, or a waiting period.
  • HardYou'll have to contact support, usually by email.
  • LimitedThe site only deactivates or hides the account; data may stay.
  • ImpossibleThe site doesn't offer deletion. You may still request it under privacy law.

Data: JustDeleteMe (MIT), 2,664 sites, fetched 2026-10-08. Instructions may be out of date — the site's current page wins.

8PWD shows publicly documented steps for reference only. It cannot delete accounts for you and does not provide legal advice.

The text on this page is the text 8PWD 3.1 shows on screen, in this language; it is generated from the app's own strings so the two cannot drift apart.
