Simple method that I have been using for a long time which requires no payment at all! 70 percent success rate!

1. Get hold of the username, email or phone of the person you want to search. In my experience, the former two have a higher success rate.

2. Head over to `https://breachdirectory.org`

3. Paste the username, email or phone into the search box.

- If you get any results, you’ll notice the passwords in a sha-1 hash.

- If you don’t, you’ll need another form of data to work with.

1. Copy the sha-1 hash(es) and head over to `https://md5decrypt.net/en/Sha1/`

2. Paste the hash and hope that it decrypts.

3. Enjoy!
