What if i forget to delete some old accounts associated with the google email address? Will someone be able to take control of them? And my data will be there forever too.
What method do you use to find the old accounts to delete? Unfortunately i delete all emails after receiving them.
99.99999% chance the answer is no. Not even Google is stupid enough to do that.
There's a couple things you could try.
-
Open up an incognito browser window, and Google your email address. It will usually show you relevant accounts (I.e. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.). You could also search your name and see if any accounts come up that way.
-
Check out OSINT Framework. It's a very useful tool for remediating your digital footprint.
-
If you suspect you might have account (and you remember where it is), try account recovery by email in question to delete it later, you’ll either get bounced or get recovery email 🧐
