Find public profiles linked to a username

Start with names you have used

Try a username you remember using on social networks, forums or other public sites. You can also enter an email address; the checker uses the part before the @ sign as a username, not as proof that an account belongs to that address.

Review each possible match

Open a result and compare details you recognise, such as a profile photo, biography or links. A matching username alone does not establish who owns a profile. Some sites may be unavailable, so an incomplete check cannot prove an account does not exist.

Decide what to do next

For an account you own, review its privacy settings and remove information you no longer want public. If you cannot access it, use the service’s account recovery or removal process rather than attempting to access someone else’s account.
