Myspace Profile Search: Find Your Old Profile

Myspace was once the most popular social media platform before it was overtaken by Facebook. But do you know if your old Myspace profile still exists? Whether you’re feeling nostalgic or just want to find your old photos, you may want to access your old Myspace account. Here we’ll walk you through how to find your old Myspace profile.

How to view your ‘public’ Myspace account

Myspace allows users to search by email address, name, or username. That means if your old account’s privacy settings were set to ‘public’, you can view your old stuff like photos directly by searching your name, username, or email without login. So you can give this a shot.

If you have taken the step and got nothing, take a look at the following method.

How to find your old Myspace profile without an email

Like many other social media platforms, you can use your username to log into your Myspace account. However, if you don’t remember your password and which email address you used for Myspace, your clue for logging in is just cut off here.

That’s when some would build their hope on the “Wayback Machine”. It basically refers to websites that archive old pages, for example the Internet Archive. However, based on the feedbacks they received, this doesn’t work so well as the archive doesn’t seem to crawl data of individual profiles on social media[r/CasualConversation (hotrod9p).

Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/CasualConversation/comments/ss5woj/can_i_use_the_waybackmachine_to_find_my_old/].

But don’t worry. You can search for all your email accounts with people search services.

People search services are mainly used for finding information about people. With just a name, you may potentially uncover tons of information more than you think, such as contact details, current and past addresses, social media profiles, and more.
