About WhatsMyName
WhatsMyName is an OSINT username investigation workspace. It helps researchers quickly detect public username traces across hundreds of websites and then validate those traces with a repeatable workflow.
Our mission
We aim to reduce repetitive manual work in username investigations. Instead of opening platform after platform by hand, investigators can run one scan, export results, and spend time on evidence verification rather than data collection.
Who uses this tool
- OSINT and threat-intelligence analysts.
- Incident response and security operations teams.
- Journalists and open-source investigators.
- Brand protection and trust & safety workflows.
What makes this page useful
- Real search workflow with per-platform result links.
- Export support (CSV/JSON) for case documentation.
- Transparent methodology and known limitation disclosure.
- Safe mode that excludes adult-category platforms by default.
Boundaries and responsible use
WhatsMyName does not bypass authentication, does not access private content, and does not claim identity ownership based on one match. A found username is only a lead, not proof.
You are responsible for complying with local law, platform terms, and privacy obligations. We encourage legitimate security and research use only.
