Cancelling 1Password directly
About 4 minutes · Easy
Sign in to your 1Password account
Open Billing
Select Cancel subscription and confirm
- Notice period
- None — cancelling takes effect straight away.
- How you will know it worked
- Confirmation email.
- What happens after you cancel
- Cancelling is not the same as deleting, and the difference is your entire password vault. The subscription runs to the end of the period you have paid for and the account is then FROZEN rather than closed: you can still sign in, read every item, copy passwords out and move them into a vault somewhere else. Nothing is deleted and it waits for you indefinitely. Only actively deleting the account destroys the data, which is a separate and much more final action — so if what you want is to stop paying, cancel and leave the account alone.

Cancelling 1Password through Apple
About 3 minutes · Easy
Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad, then tap your name
On the web, go to apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions
Tap Subscriptions
Select the subscription, then Cancel Subscription
- Notice period
- At least 1 day before your renewal date. Apple requires cancellation at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
- How you will know it worked
- Confirmation email.
- What happens after you cancel
- You keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for — Apple does not refund the unused part, and cancelling early does not end it sooner. The subscription disappears from your Apple subscriptions list on that date. Two things this does not do: it does not close your account with the service, so anything stored there stays where it is, and it does not get you a refund. Refunds for Apple-billed subscriptions are asked for at reportaproblem.apple.com, not from the merchant, who genuinely cannot issue one.
