So I've been pwned. I have looked it up and I can see that my information is online twice, now I was wondering if I could see anywhere where I registered my email. I don't mean steamgifts I just mean every website I've ever registered to. Thanks in advance! Here are some giveaways from my 1000 games celebration thread

You do realize that you're suggesting someone who already got pwned to give a random website full access to his inbox...on purpose?

And if by chance anyone would actually consider handing over their inbox to these people, do keep in mind that they read ALL your email and some of their revenue comes from selling the information they gather from reading these emails. They even say so in their own policy.

TL:DR This is a very very bad idea.

Sorry, didn't know about that.
I read some reviews(example) and it seemed to me safe.

That's what makes services like this dangerous...."safe" on the Internet is very very relative. The only way to keep information 100% safe on the internet is to not put it on the Internet to begin with, the best we can do is try to get as far away from 0% safe as possible.

The problem here isn't whether these guys know what they're doing or not, the problem is that they can't reach 100% safe any more than anyone else can. Say you have a Google account and that as long as you keep your login details private, enable 2-factor authentication, etc you reach a relative level of 95% safe.

Then you find unroll.me and for all intents and purposes they're also 95% safe so you feel ok with allowing them access. What happens now is that your own overall safety drops to approximately 90% safe because you've now introduced a little bit more "unsafe" because neither service is 100% safe.

Then there's another layer, the 95% safe with Google is only the technical safety (how hard is it for someone else to gain unauthorized access to your stuff from the outside?) and assumes that you can actually trust everyone who has low level access to Google's internal systems, likewise does it assume that you can trust all of unrollme's employees as well as your own computer, phone, etc. Again there's no such thing as 100% safe, there's always a risk that there is a rotten apple somewhere in the mix and the more people you add to your implied sphere of trust, the higher the risk.

(The %-numbers above are completely made up and are only meant to illustrate a point and thus they are not intended to be read as any kind of measurement of an actual risk level of any service or company. )

Drafek if you gonna start to look for your mail & you gonna provide your mail on such "checking" websites you will get a lot of Spam, this is a very, very bad idea....
There is no way to check where you have registered your email because many websites just sell your mail info to 2nd & 3rd parts, also there's many leaks & hack's when someone can stole your mail so there is no way to check this topic, this is just a great way to make your mail address spammed like hell....

Yeah but they promise to not abuse any information, unless of course they want to, so it's all good.

I just use a password manager (LastPass) and it can list the sites with a simple search. DeseatMe is also a good alternative, but AFAIK it only checks a set of sites in its database for the email you log in with.
