How to Check If Your Credentials Were Leaked in a Data Breach

3 Steps to Audit Your Leaked Accounts

1. Check Reputable Breach Databases: Use services like Have I Been Pwned to see which services leaked your email.
2. Use a Dedicated Password Manager: Generate 16+ character unique passwords for every service so that a breach on one site never compromises another.
3. Activate Passkeys & 2FA: Protect your primary accounts with authenticator apps or hardware keys.
