Passwords & breaches
Find Out If Your Account Was Caught in a Data Breach
Run a free, official breach check on an address you own, read the result without panic, and close the exact gap a leak opens — no passwords, no guesswork.
Start the 4-step breach checkOfficial tools only
Every step points to a public, reputable breach service.
No passwords, ever
We never ask you to type a password or a one-time code.
Owner-only checks
You look up addresses you control — never anyone else's.
Nothing to hand over
Breach lookups run without giving us your account access.
HackSN turns every 'is my account hacked' search into a legal, owner-consent security check.
Which breach-check tools do what
All of these are official, owner-only tools — pick by what you actually need.
| Provider | Free to use | Search by your email | Ongoing breach alerts | Flags leaked saved passwords |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Have I Been Pwned | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Mozilla Monitor | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Google Password Checkup | Yes | If eligible | Yes | Yes |
| Apple Security Recommendations | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
| Your password manager's monitor | If eligible | If eligible | Yes | Yes |
None of these ask for a password to run a check — if a 'checker' does, it's a phishing page.
Run a breach check in 4 steps
1
List your own addresses
Write down the email addresses you actually use to log in.
2
Run the official lookup
Type one address into a trusted breach checker at its real site.
3
Read what leaked
Note which breach it was and what data was exposed.
4
Change and stop reusing
Update that password everywhere you reused it, then turn on 2FA.
You only need the email addresses you own. No password, code, or account login is ever required.
See the exact leaks your email is in
A result names each breach, its date, and the type of data exposed.
- Breach name and year, not a vague 'you're at risk'
- What was exposed: password, email, phone, or address
- Password leaks are the ones to act on first
Get warned the next time it happens
Official monitors email you when a new leak includes your address.
- Subscribe with an address you control
- Alerts often arrive before attackers finish testing the list
- Unsubscribe anytime — it's your inbox
Let your browser or manager flag reused leaks
Built-in checkups compare your saved passwords against known leaks.
- Chrome, Safari, and password managers do this on your device
- Highlights reused and weak passwords, not only breached ones
- No password ever leaves your device to reach us
Real breach check vs. 'hack-any-account' scam
⚑ Enter any username and we'll show if THEIR account is breached.
Legitimate breach checks only look up addresses you control; no lawful tool audits a stranger's account for you.
⚑ We recovered the leaked password — pay to reveal it.
Real services never sell you a plaintext password; a breach check tells you an account is exposed, it never hands over credentials.
⚑ Free hack-any-account scanner, no login needed.
That's bait to phish your details or install malware — breaking into an account is illegal, not a free scan.
⚑ Your account is breached — verify by entering your password here.
No breach checker needs your password; anyone asking for it is running the phishing page, not protecting you.
✓ Check only email addresses you own and control.
✓ Use the platform's own tools and well-known checkers like Have I Been Pwned.
✓ Read a 'pwned' result as 'change this password now,' not 'you've been hacked this second.'
✓ We never ask for, store, or reveal a password or login code — yours or anyone's.
FAQ
What does it mean if a breach check says my email was 'pwned'?
It means your email address showed up in a database that was leaked or stolen from some service — often alongside a password — so you should change that password and any place you reused it, but on its own it does not prove someone is inside your account right now.
Does a breach check show my actual password or let me see someone else's?
No, a legitimate breach check only tells you which leaks your own address appears in and what kind of data was exposed, and it never reveals a plaintext password or lets you look up an account you do not own.
Is Have I Been Pwned safe to use, and is it really free?
Have I Been Pwned is a widely trusted, free service that searches known breaches by email, and you can use it without paying or handing over a password, as long as you type your address into the official site yourself.
Can I check whether my child's or partner's account was breached?
You can help a family member run a breach check on their own email only when they are present and doing it with you, because a breach check is an owner-only tool and you should never look up an address that is not yours.
My email is in a breach — does that mean I will definitely get hacked?
Nothing is guaranteed either way, but the safe move is to treat the leaked password as compromised, change it everywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication so a stolen password alone cannot open the account.
