While there isn't a single way to see all the services that are linked to your email account, there are a few steps to help you track this down.
Common Accounts
The first place you can start is by checking different services you use all the time, especially social media accounts. Similar to the next point in this list, some accounts let you use a "Social Sign-In" rather than setting a unique password. For this reason, you'll want to double check any social media accounts to make sure they are using an email other than your SNC email.
- Social Media Platforms: Facebook/Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest, TikTok
- Online Retailers: e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and Target, delivery apps such as DoorDash and GrubHub,
- Financial Services: PayPal, Venmo, credit card companies, banks, savings accounts, student loan sites
- Streaming Services: Netflix, Max, Hulu, Peacock, Paramount+, Spotify, Pandora, Disney+
- Gaming Platforms: Twitch, Discord, Epic Games, Steam, Ubisoft
- Travel Platforms: AirBNB, VRBO, booking platforms such as Expedia and Trivago, any airline website, transportation services such as Uber and Lyft
This is not an all inclusive list, but it can be a great start to get you thinking where you might've used your email.
Accounts that use the "Sign in with Google" option
For the websites that use "Sign in with Google" (rather than an independent username and password), you can find the list in your security settings.
- Go to account.google.com
- Choose Security
- Scroll down to "Your connections to third-party apps & services" and click on "See all connections"
- This will show you all the services that have access to some of your Google data. You can click on "Sign in with Google" to filter all the services that use this sign in option.
Check your browser for saved passwords
Most browsers prompt you to save a password after you've logged in. If you're not sure if you have, it might be worth it to check what is saved.

Search your past emails

- Verification
- Subscription
- Activate
