Account deletion guide

Every account you don't use is a password that can still leak. This guide shows where each site hides its delete button, how hard it is, and what to write when there is no button. 8PWD only shows the way — it cannot delete accounts for you, and this is not legal advice.

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.
