🔍 What is WhoHasMyEmail?
WhoHasMyEmail is an OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) scanning service that helps you discover where your email addresses and usernames are registered across the internet. In today's digital age, most people have accounts on dozens or even hundreds of websites, many of which they've forgotten about.
Our service scans over 400 platforms including social media sites, forums, shopping platforms, and services to find where your information has been used. This helps you:
- Identify forgotten accounts you may want to delete
- Understand your digital footprint
- Take control of your online privacy
- Reduce exposure to potential data breaches
🛠️ How Does It Work?
Our scanning process uses industry-standard OSINT tools that are trusted by security professionals worldwide. Here's what happens when you order a scan:
Step 1: Input Your Information
You provide the email address or username you want to search for. This stays completely private and is never stored on our servers.
Step 2: Automated Scanning
We use a combination of powerful OSINT tools to scan the web:
Email Scanning
For email addresses, we check registration pages, password reset forms, and account existence across social media, shopping sites, professional networks, and more.
🛡️ Data Breach Checking (When Available)
When possible, email scans include a security check using Have I Been Pwned (HIBP). This checks if your email has appeared in any known data breaches.
If breaches are found, your report will show:
- Which services were breached - LinkedIn, Adobe, etc.
- When the breach occurred - So you know if it's recent
- ⚠️ Security warnings - Highlighted in your report
🛡️ Why this matters: If your email appears in a breach, you should change passwords on those services immediately. Breached data is often sold to hackers who try to access your accounts. Note: This feature depends on third-party API availability.
Username Scanning - Even More Powerful! 🚀
Username scanning is our most comprehensive search option. Unlike emails which are often hidden, usernames are frequently public and searchable. Our username scanner checks:
- 300+ platforms including niche communities and forums
- Social media profiles - Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, Pinterest, Tumblr
- Developer platforms - GitHub, GitLab, Stack Overflow, HackerNews, CodePen
- Gaming networks - Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, Twitch, Discord
- Creative platforms - Behance, Dribbble, DeviantArt, SoundCloud, Spotify
- Professional sites - LinkedIn, AngelList, Medium, Substack
- Niche communities - Specialized forums, hobby sites, regional platforms
💡 Pro Tip: Username searches often find 2-3x more results than email searches because usernames are designed to be public identifiers. If you've used the same username across multiple sites (which most people do), this scan will reveal your complete digital footprint!
These tools check platforms by analyzing:
- Registration pages - Testing if an email/username is already registered
- Password reset forms - Checking for account existence
- Public profiles - Finding publicly accessible usernames
- API responses - Analyzing website responses for account indicators
- Profile URLs - Direct checking of platform-specific username patterns
Step 3: Report Generation
Results are compiled into a clean, professional PDF report organized by category:
- Social Media - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.
- Professional - GitHub, Stack Overflow, portfolios
- Shopping - Amazon, eBay, retail platforms
- Forums & Communities - Reddit, Discord, specialized forums
- Entertainment - Spotify, Netflix, gaming platforms
Step 4: Secure Delivery
Your report is sent directly to your email within 15-20 minutes. We don't store the scan results or your personal information.
⏱️ Processing Time: Scans typically take 15-20 minutes to complete. Email scans are generally faster (~10 minutes) while username scans may take longer (~20-30 minutes) due to the number of platforms checked.
🔒 Privacy & Security
We take your privacy seriously:
- No Data Storage - Scans are performed in real-time and results are not stored on our servers
- Secure Processing - All scans run in isolated environments
- Encrypted Delivery - Reports are sent via secure email with TLS encryption
- No Third-Party Sharing - Your information is never shared or sold
🛡️ Important: WhoHasMyEmail is a read-only service. We only check for the existence of accounts; we never access, modify, or interact with your actual accounts. Think of it as a digital phone book lookup - we're just checking if your name is listed.
🎯 What's Included in the Report?
Your professional PDF report includes:
- Complete list of platforms where your email/username was found

- Organization by category for easy reading
- Recommendations for account management

❓ Common Questions
Is this legal?
Yes! All our tools use publicly available information and official APIs. We don't hack, crack passwords, or access private data. We simply check if an email or username is registered, which is publicly verifiable information.
How accurate is the scan?
Our tools have a high accuracy rate (95%+), but false positives/negatives can occur. Some websites may block automated queries, and privacy-focused sites may not appear in results even if you have an account there.
Can you delete accounts for me?
No. We only provide information about where accounts exist. To delete accounts, you'll need to contact each platform directly. Our report includes links to make this easier.
What if I find accounts I didn't create?
This could indicate:
- Someone else using a similar username
- Old accounts you forgot about
- Accounts created by family members
- Potential identity misuse (rare, but investigate if suspicious)
