Currently at this time you cannot unfortunately delete or pause your account yourself from the user dashboard. If you like to have your account deleted then just simply open a ticket at our helpdesk here.

This is a permanent action and your deleted Simple URL Shortener account cannot be retrieved after this action has been carried through.

Browser Plugins and Mobile Apps

Unfortunately Simple URL Shortener do not offer any plugin extension functionality to browsers or a mobile app integration to android or IOS at this current time to our users.

However we do offer other ways of integrations through our Developers API which you can read more about in that section.

Browser Bookmark Integration Available

We do offer an easy and simple bookmark browser integration which you can read more how to use it here which enables you to create short links directly from your browser without the need to login to your Simple URL Shortener account.

How can I change and update my old password?

Log in to your Simple URL Shortener account and in the upper right corner hover with your computer mouse over your user avatar and click “profile:

After that then go to:
Settings → Change Password and type your new password in the password field:

if you are satisfied with your new password click on the “Submit” button and you’re done!

We do recommend that you use a strong password for your account with a minimum of 7 characters with a mix of upper and lower letter characters plus numbers 1322 and symbols 33%¤#.
Do not use the most common passwords:
Most common passwords by Wikipedia
That will certainly get your account hacked and you do not want that, right? ?

We can also recommend that you use a good reliable password manager such as LastPass which is free, very easy to use and will create make very secure long password for you, (up to 100 characters) without the need for you to remember them.

Yes, the account is really free forever with no strings attached and you  can keep as long as you want, but it if you want access to more powerful link features and advanced traffic analytics then you should consider to upgrade to a paid paid premium account.
