Community and forum account lookup across 11 platforms
Discussion communities, Q&A sites and fandoms. Handles here are the ones people keep for years.
Communities, forums and Q&A sites hold the handles people keep for years and reuse across the internet. A community account lookup shows whether an email address or username is part of that long-lived web, which makes it valuable both for trust-and-safety teams spotting new fake accounts and for investigators connecting a handle across platforms. Activity on community platforms is one of the hardest footprints to fabricate at scale. Digital Footprint checks every community platform below from an email address or username alongside 800+ others, reporting confirmed accounts only.
