Exposure cleanup
Digital footprint checklist
Your digital footprint is the collection of accounts, profiles, usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, and personal details connected to you online. Reducing it lowers breach, phishing, and account recovery risk.
Checklist
Find exposed accounts
Run an email breach check and list every breached service you still use.
Close unused accounts
Delete old accounts that still hold email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, or payment data.
Review public profiles
Check social profiles, old forums, people-search listings, and public usernames.
Audit connected apps
Remove OAuth apps and browser extensions you no longer recognize or use.
Lock recovery channels
Secure your primary email and phone carrier account before anything else.
Repeat quarterly
Breach exposure changes over time as new datasets appear.
Highest-risk accounts
Start with your primary email, phone carrier, bank, password manager, Apple ID or Google account, cloud storage, and social media. These accounts can be used to reset access elsewhere.
What to remove
Remove old addresses, unused payment methods, forgotten recovery emails, public birthdays, exposed phone numbers, and connected apps that no longer need access.
