Just tried deleting my account--got exactly that error. That's not reassuring

If you Google for the error message you'll find that this behavior has been there for several years. I guess they just don't care about the usability in his part of the process. I tried deleting an account with dev tools installed and the web server gave HTTP error 500 (internal server error). I think the JavaScript just bails out at that point.

There's a ton of those posts. Some in the official LastPass forum as well, and the response from LogMeIn was basically that the account was deleted.

(It's of course crappy, just saying that this behavior is nothing new and probably just something they don't care about enough to fix..)

Same here. It appears(?) that my account got deleted.

Confirmed. I deleted my account, received the error above. Then when attempting to login again, I was told my email was mistyped.

I stopped using LastPass a long time ago, but this has definitely put them on thin ice for me, I won't be recommending them going forward.

Ditto - I recently switched to BitWarden and kind of forgot that I was still giving it a self determined "trail period." This certainly kicked that trail period into my new current password manager.

I had the same when deleting my account 3 years ago. LastPass is hot garbage and LogMeIm are the perfect home for it being a dumpster fire of a company.
