Find old accounts. Choose what to keep.

Choose your first step

Start with one account, page, or search result you already know. Your choice prefills the case form; review it and confirm your authority before saving. No request is sent by choosing a route.

• Posts & accounts: Start with one known link. Review the case details before saving.

Review saved logins without exporting passwords

Open the password manager you already use and review its website names. In Chrome, use Google Password Manager; Google also provides a web interface for passwords saved to your Google Account. A saved login is a clue, not proof that an account is still active.

1. Review only accounts and devices you own or are authorized to use.
2. Write down a service name or its official website, not the password or recovery code.
3. Do not export or upload a password file to Offtrace. Removing a saved login does not close the website account.

Check apps linked to your sign-in accounts

Google's linked-app settings and Apple's Sign in with Apple list can help you identify services you used. Review the provider's current instructions. Changing a sign-in connection is a separate action from closing an account with the app developer.

1. Review the linked-app list directly in your Google Account or Apple Account settings.
2. Before changing a connection, check how you would sign in to the service again.
3. Apple explains that stopping Sign in with Apple signs you out; using it again can return you to the same app account. Use the app's own closure process when that is your goal.

Search your own inbox for account clues

Look for welcome messages, verification emails, and receipts in email accounts you can access. In Gmail, the subject: operator narrows a search to message subject lines. The examples below are starting points; wording varies, and missing results do not prove you never had an account.

1. Try subject:welcome, subject:verify, or subject:receipt separately in Gmail.
2. If you remember a service, search for its name too. Check older email accounts you still control.
3. Visit a service's official website directly to check your account. Offtrace does not need forwarded emails, inbox access, or screenshots.

Choose one account and make a deliberate decision

Start with a service you recognize. Decide whether to keep it, change its visibility, cancel a subscription, or close the account. Review any saved data and connected services first. An inbox search or app list cannot prove that every account has been found.

1. Use the account-cleanup guide to review the next steps before deletion.
2. Once you have an official account or page link, create a case to track the action you choose.
3. Keep discoveries about unrelated accounts in your own secure records. Add only the details needed for the case you are working on.
