LifeLock-specific things to know

These tips cover common edge cases that might affect your LifeLock cancellation process.

Annual billing means longer commitment
Most LifeLock plans bill annually. You'll keep protection until your current billing period ends, which could be up to 12 months away.
Family plans cancel for all members
Cancelling a LifeLock Family plan removes protection for all family members on the account, not just the primary account holder.
Credit scores may be affected
If you use LifeLock's credit monitoring as your primary source, cancelling means you'll need another way to track your credit score regularly.

Before you cancel, keep this in mind

These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.

1. Check your billing cycle

LifeLock typically bills annually. Your protection continues until the end of your current billing period, even after cancellation. Check your next billing date in your account.

2. Download important reports first

Save any credit reports, monitoring alerts, or identity theft reports you might need later. You'll lose access to these once your subscription ends.

3. Note any ongoing identity issues

If you're currently working with LifeLock on identity theft restoration, make sure to get contact information for continuing support after cancellation.

Alternatives to cancelling your subscription

If cost is your main concern, you might be able to downgrade to a cheaper plan instead of cancelling completely.

Downgrade your LifeLock plan

LifeLock offers three main tiers with different levels of protection. You might be able to switch to a lower tier that still meets your needs.

  • LifeLock Standard: Basic identity monitoring

  • LifeLock Advantage: Adds bank and credit card monitoring

  • LifeLock Ultimate Plus: Full protection with all features

Share Your Plan

LifeLock Family plans cover up to 5 family members for a lower per-person cost than individual plans. This might be cheaper if you have multiple people who need identity protection.

Negotiate a Deal

LifeLock sometimes offers retention discounts to customers trying to cancel. Customer service may present promotional pricing or extended trial periods.

Alternative ways to cancel LifeLock

If you can't cancel through your LifeLock account, you may need to contact customer support directly. Phone and chat options are available.
