Trying to cancel 1Password? Avoid the runaround.
Can you cancel your 1Password subscription? Check eligibility and conditions
You can cancel any 1Password subscription (Individual, Families, Teams, or Business) at any time, with no cancellation fees. Even mid-cycle, you retain full access until the end of your current billing term. After that, your account becomes read-only, so your vault and passwords are still accessible, just not editable.
There’s no refund for unused time, and if you signed up via Apple or Google, you must cancel through those platforms, not directly on 1Password’s site. Business users managed by an admin may need to request cancellation through their account manager. But for most users, cancellation is completely self-service.
The best part? Your data stays safe. Cancelling won’t delete your vault or content, so you can come back or export passwords whenever needed.
How to cancel a 1Password subscription, service or order
Cancelling is straightforward:
- Sign in at 1Password.com with your email and master password.
- Go to “Billing” from your account sidebar.
- Scroll and click “Cancel Subscription” (it might be hidden below the Save button).
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
- You’ll receive confirmation and remain active until your paid term ends.
If you subscribed via Apple or Google Play, cancel through your iOS or Android subscription settings instead - 1Password can’t cancel those for you.

How long does a 1Password cancellation take?

- Free Trial: Cancel before day 14 to avoid being charged.
- Paid Plans: Cancel anytime, and you’ll keep full access until your current cycle ends.
Miss the deadline? The renewal charge is not refundable, even if you contact support. Set a calendar reminder to cancel a few days before your next bill to be safe.

1Password Cancellation FAQs
Can you cancel your 1Password subscription anytime, and do you lose access right away?
You can cancel any 1Password subscription at any time with no cancellation fees, and you keep full access until your current billing term ends. That means cancelling mid-cycle won’t cut you off immediately. When the paid term ends, your account becomes read-only so you can still view your vault and passwords, but you can’t edit or add items. If you might need your data later, cancelling won’t delete your vault.
Will 1Password refund unused time if you cancel, and what happens if you miss the renewal date?
1Password does not refund unused time, and renewal charges are not refundable if you miss your billing deadline. You can cancel anytime, but you’ll simply remain active until the end of your current monthly or yearly cycle. For a free trial, you need to cancel before day 14 to avoid being charged. The safest move is cancelling a few days before your next billing date so you don’t get billed again.
How do you cancel 1Password if you subscribed through Apple or Google Play?
If you subscribed to 1Password through Apple or Google Play, you must cancel in your iOS or Android subscription settings, not on 1Password.com. 1Password can’t cancel App Store or Google Play subscriptions for you, even if you contact support. If you’re not sure where you subscribed, check your Apple ID or Google Play subscriptions first, then cancel there to stop the next renewal.
Does cancelling 1Password delete your vault, and can you come back later without losing your passwords?
Cancelling 1Password won’t delete your vault or content, and your data stays accessible in read-only mode after your paid term ends. That means you can still see your passwords even after cancellation, just not make changes. You can also return later and reactivate if you want full functionality again. If you’re cancelling because you’re switching tools, export your passwords before your billing term ends to avoid friction.
