How to Find All Accounts Linked to Your Email Address (Gmail)

Privacy & security

Gmail Exporter Guide

Accounts leave traces in different places. A site you joined with "Sign in with Google" shows up in your Google Account. A site you joined with a password shows up in your password manager — if you saved it. Almost all of them sent you a welcome or verification email.

Each source misses something, so you use them together. The method below turns a vague "find all my accounts" into a spreadsheet you can work through line by line. Every step uses Google's own tools and documented Gmail search syntax, checked on September 28, 2026.

The 4 places your accounts leave a trace

For most people, Gmail search produces the longest list. The other three fill gaps and tell you which accounts need attention first.

Method 1: "Sign in with Google" and linked apps

Google keeps a list of third-party apps connected to your account. Open myaccount.google.com/linkedapps while signed in to the Gmail address you're checking.

Google's help page on linked apps separates three kinds of link:

• Sign in with Google — you use your Google Account to log in to the app instead of a password.
• Linked account — Google has some access to your account on the app (for example, a music service linked to Google Assistant).
• Access to your Google Account — the app can read or change some of your Google data, like Calendar, Drive or Gmail.

Use the filters to see each type. Write every app down — or keep the tab open for the inventory step below.

One detail from Google matters here: if you remove a Sign in with Google link, Google "stops automatic sign-in to the app. This doesn't delete your data on the app." Removing the link doesn't close the account. You'll still need to delete it from the service itself.

Apps with access to your Google data deserve the closest look, especially any with Gmail access. If you're not sure why an app can read your mail, remove it. We explain why this matters in how to export Gmail without giving third-party access.

Method 2: Search Gmail for signup and verification emails

Almost every service emails you when you register: "Welcome", "Confirm your email", "Verify your account". Searching for those messages recovers accounts you forgot years ago.

Paste these into the Gmail search box one at a time. They use operators documented in Google's Refine searches in Gmail page. For the full reference, keep our Gmail search operators cheat sheet open.

A few notes on how Gmail handles these:

• OR must be uppercase, and parentheses group terms. Quotes search for an exact phrase.
• in:anywhere "includes emails in Spam and Trash", per Google. Otherwise Gmail skips those folders.
• Other languages. If you've signed up to services in Spanish, French or another language, repeat the searches with those words (e.g. subject:(bienvenido OR verifica OR confirma)).
• Expect noise. "Welcome" also matches newsletters and colleagues. That's fine — the next step collapses everything to one row per sender domain.

Using a + alias (like you+shop@gmail.com) for signups? Search deliveredto: with that alias to see every service that used it.

Method 3: Your password manager's saved logins

If you let Chrome save passwords, Google Password Manager already has a list of sites where you have an account. Open passwords.google.com, or in Chrome go to More → Passwords and autofill → Google Password Manager.

According to Google's Chrome password help, you can export this list: in Google Password Manager, open Settings and select Download file next to "Export passwords". That gives you a file with the site, username and password for every saved login.

Treat that export with care. It contains your passwords in plain text. Copy the site and username columns into your inventory, then delete the file — don't upload it or leave it in Downloads.

Filter the list by username: rows where the username is the Gmail address you're checking are the accounts you're looking for. While you're there, Google's compromised passwords check flags saved passwords that appeared in a data breach.

Using another manager (1Password, Bitwarden, iCloud Keychain, Firefox)? Check its own export or search feature too — logins saved there won't be in Google's list.

Method 4: Check breach exposure with Have I Been Pwned

Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) is a free service that lets you search one email address and see which known data breaches included it. It's useful here for two reasons: it can reveal services you forgot, and it tells you which accounts are most urgent to secure.

Know what it does and doesn't do. From the HIBP FAQ:

• When breach data is loaded, "no corresponding passwords are loaded" with email addresses, and the site won't send you exposed passwords.
• The public search returns results for a single address at a time.
• On whether searches are harvested: "You don't, but it's not… if you're concerned about the intent or security, don't use it."

HIBP only covers breaches it knows about. An empty result doesn't mean you have no accounts — only that your address wasn't found in the breaches it has loaded.

Turn the results into an account inventory

This is where most "find your accounts" advice stops. Four lists in four places aren't useful. One spreadsheet with one row per service is.

1. Run your signup searches in Gmail. You can combine them into one: in:anywhere (subject:(welcome OR verify OR confirm OR activate) OR "verify your email" OR "your account has been created").
2. Export the results. Follow our guide to export those search results to CSV. With Gmail Exporter's free plan, each row has the sender email, subject, body preview and service (the sending domain) — the column that matters here.
3. Remove duplicates by service. Ten emails from the same shop should become one row. The extension can remove duplicates before export; in Google Sheets you can also list unique services with =UNIQUE(D2:D) (adjust the column letter).
4. Add the other sources. Paste in the linked apps you wrote down and the site column from your password export. Dedupe again.
5. Add three columns: Keep / Close / Update email, Password changed? and Done.

A finished inventory looks like this (example rows):

Sort by priority: anything with money, identity documents, access to your Google data or a known breach goes first.

What to do next: close, secure, or remove access

Work through the sheet from the top. For each service, one of these applies:

• Close it. Log in and look for "Delete account" or "Close account" in settings. If there's no option, the service's privacy page usually says how to request deletion.
• Keep it and secure it. Use a unique password (a password manager can generate one) and turn on two-step verification where offered.
• Update the email. If you're moving away from this address, change the login email before the old inbox goes. See how to move Gmail to another account.
• Remove Google access. For apps with access to your Google data, use Remove access on the linked apps page. Google notes the app then can't access your Google Account, which may disable some features.

If you're doing this because an old address may disappear, read our guide to the Gmail inactive account policy first. Once a Gmail address is deleted, Google says it can't be used again — so any service still tied to it loses its password-reset route.

Worried about the export step itself? Our guide on whether it's safe to export Gmail covers what to check in any tool, ours included.

Why no tool finds 100% of your accounts

Paid "find my accounts" services and free methods have the same blind spots. There's no public register of which sites hold your address. You'll miss accounts when:

• You deleted the welcome email, or the service never sent one.
• You signed up with a different email, a phone number, or "Sign in with Apple" or Facebook.
• You never saved the password, or saved it somewhere else.
• The service was never breached, or its breach isn't in HIBP.

Combining the four methods catches most accounts. Repeat the Gmail search once a year and the inventory stays current.
