minus-squareArchRecordlinkfedilinkEnglish32•2 months agoTLDR; 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.

minus-squareArchRecordlinkfedilinkEnglish3•2 months agoI’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. 😶
