Key Takeaways

  • Close old accounts to protect your personal data, identity details, and credit card numbers from potential attackers or data breaches. You can check if an password has been leaked at haveibeenpwned.com.
  • Use password managers or search through your email to find old accounts you no longer use.
  • If you can't delete an account, remove financial and personal information, and consider anonymizing the account by changing the email address and personal details to something random to minimize the risk of data compromise.
