TLDR;
- Check your Password Manager/Stored Browser Credentials
- If on Apple devices, check your Keychain
- If on Android or using/used Chrome, check your Google Password Manager (enabled if you chose to save passwords to your Google account)
- Search old email inboxes
- Search for your email in data breaches
- Search for old usernames you re-used across sites
I personally would also add searching your browser cookies, since some browsers will keep around old cookies for years if you don’t clear them.
Perfect TLDR. I check all the credentials in Bitwarden every few months for the ones I need to get rid of
I’ve been checking my password manager for over a year now, and I’m still finding more old accounts I have to delete!
My 120 deleted or pending deletion accounts only make up about 1/2 of the ones I need to delete overall. 😶
Damn you must have atleast a thousand accounts. Keep on keeping on
Does deleting old accounts really do much? Once you do something online, you should assume it’s there even if you delete it.
Best you can do is adopt a more privacy conscious way to go about things and just let your old footprint go stale
