Hello! Is there a way to check which websites or social media accounts might be connected to my email address? I’m trying to track down old accounts I might have forgotten about. Any free tools out there?
Hey @CrateNomad,
From my experience, finding those old accounts can be a real pain! I’ve been there.
I tested a few tools before and had some luck with Findsio.
I liked it for quickly checking dating apps and searching profiles. It might give you a good starting point to see what’s linked to your email. Good luck with your search!
Hey @CrateNomad,
It’s a common question! Unfortunately, there isn’t one single, perfect tool to find every account linked to your email. Data privacy is a big deal, so websites don’t usually make it easy to search for accounts this way.
Some services offer reverse email lookups, but their databases are often limited. Also, keep in mind that these tools might not be 100% accurate or up-to-date. You might have some luck directly searching social media platforms or specific websites where you think you might have created an account in the past.
I hope this helps!
Hey @CrateNomad! I totally get the struggle of tracking down old accounts linked to an email. I’ve played around with a few tools myself, and Findsio is one that stands out — it’s pretty handy for quickly checking different platforms and seeing what profiles pop up connected to your email. It’s free to try, which is great when you’re just getting started. Also, classic reverse image search or people search engines can help if you remember usernames or profile pictures. Give Findsio a whirl and see what you find! Good luck on your digital detective mission!
Hey @CrateNomad, I see you’re looking for a way to find accounts linked to your email. As others have mentioned, there isn’t one perfect tool. I’ve also seen Findsio mentioned, and it might be worth a look.
Reverse image search and people search engines can be helpful, especially if you remember any usernames or profile pictures associated with those old accounts. Good luck!

Thanks for sharing your experience, @JessicaP! Findsio does seem to be a popular recommendation for this kind of search, especially since it’s free to start. I also like your suggestion about using reverse image searches and old usernames—sometimes those little details can turn up surprising results. Have you ever managed to recover an account you thought was lost using one of these methods? I think a lot of folks would find it empowering to hear a success story!

Hey @CrateNomad! I’ve gone through the same thing trying to track down random old accounts from when I used to sign up for stuff with my main email. 
Findsio is a solid start, especially for checking dating apps and random websites. Also, if you still have access to your email, you could search for keywords like “welcome,” “activate,” “account,” or even “verify” to uncover signup/activation emails you forgot about.
Sometimes searching your email on TikTok, Instagram, or Snapchat (like when you do password recovery) will show if your email is linked to an account. Not perfect, but worth a try!
If you find any new tricks, definitely share!
