Are you looking to locate all accounts linked to your email or trying to track down your friend or potential romantic partner on social media?

Whatever the reason is for you, there are some methods you can try. This post explains how to find all social media accounts linked to an email address.

1. Use Account Finder Tools
2. Display Your Browser’s Saved Accounts
3. Check Your Email Inbox
4. Check Your Google Account Center
5. Try A General Search Engine

1. Use Account Finder Tools

There are third-party account finder tools, also known as people search engines, that are designed specifically to find people-related information, such as Social Catfish, PeopleFinders, and TruthFinder.

You can use them to look up someone and find their contact details, social media accounts, and public records, and you get all the information in one place without going through the hassle of digging through tons of websites.

For example, Social Catfish allows you to search for an email address and then see a list of possibly relevant results, which might include the person’s name, phone number, address (past and current), social media account, and more.

Just type in the email in the search bar, and Social Catfish will search social networks, dating sites, chat websites, and more. If the person you’re looking for has created online accounts or posted anything on the web, the tool should be able to pick it up.

You can also look up someone using other information such as a name, phone number, address, or even a picture with Social Catfish, and the tool will scan for the information availability across dozens of websites and public records.

2. Display Your Browser’s Saved Accounts

Our browser does a good job of keeping track of our account names and passwords. Every time we create a new account or fill out login credentials, it pops up to save the username and passwords. If you’re prone to take advantage of this feature, your search might just end here – just open your browser and check your saved accounts associated with your email address.

For Google Chrome Users

If you’re using Google Chrome, to access your list of all saved accounts, here’s what you can do:

Step 1: Open your browser, click the menu icon in the top right corner, and select Settings.

Step 2: Select Autofill, then Password Manager.

Step 3: You can type your email in the search bar and browse the entries under the Saved Passwords section.

For Mozilla Firefox Users

If you use Mozilla Firefox, here is how you view the saved Login and Passwords stash:

Step 1: Open your browser, click the menu button, and select Settings.

Step 2: Click Privacy & Security, then enter your email address into the search box. This will display all your saved Logins linked to that email.

If you have an old account on another browser, you might want to revisit it and see if your previous browser has any of your account information stored.

It can be difficult for us to keep tabs on our online accounts, especially when there are so many social media and apps available. If you don’t already have a password manager, consider using one like Dashlane or Lastpass to keep your login credentials in one place.

3. Check Your Email Inbox

If you’re trying to find social media accounts you’ve linked to your email account, the easiest way would be to check your email inbox for account verification messages.

To do this, you can search for keywords like “signing up“, “confirm” or “verify” to see if you can hunt down any confirmation emails from your previous account creation.

4. Check Your Google Account Center

If you’re trying to find accounts linked to your Google accounts, and you’re prone to signing in to websites through the Sign up with Google button, you can find accounts you’ve created in your Google Account Center.

Step 1: Click your Google account avatar and select Manage your Google Account.

Step 2: Click the Security tab, then scroll down until you come across Third-party apps with account access. Hit Manage Third-Party Access and you’ll be able to find accounts you’ve connected to your Gmail.

5. Try A General Search Engine

If you’re determined to find all accounts by email, you can also broaden your search with search engines like Google, Bing, and Duckduckgo. Search engines will scour thousands of web pages and can often provide you with surprising amounts of results if you have some search techniques.

Just type the email address into Google or another search engine to see if any social media pages show up. If the general search for that email doesn’t work well, you can also add relevant information to your search queries, like the person’s name or location. For example, you can search this:

[email protected] "John Doe" new york

Wrapping Up

If you don’t feel like digging too deep to search accounts by email, a people finder tool is your best choice to get started, but it usually requires payment before you can access the results. If you don’t feel like paying for this, and you prefer to do the investigation by yourself, try a common search engine and see if it brings up the information you need.

Hopefully, this post helped you track down social media accounts linked to an email. Keep in mind that it’s very unlikely you will be able to find all accounts linked to the email from just one place, so you might need to try different sources.
