Before we delve into the details, please note that while you can access Dark Web Reports with free Google accounts, continuous monitoring requires a paid account. The same goes for searching for more than just your email address. However, any tier of a paid Google One account can fulfill this requirement. In fact, even the introductory $2.99 per month for 200GB tier guarantees you the full version of the Dark Web Scan. This is applicable to those who are paying for additional Google Drive space.

To run a Dark Web Report on a desktop browser, follow these steps:

1. Go to One.Google.com.
2. Click on “Try now” under Dark web report.
3. Click “Run scan”.

That’s all there is to it. If you have a paid account, you will have the option to choose which other information from your account you want to search for. You can also choose to fill in any missing information (such as your Social Security Number) that you want to be included in the search. However, this step is not mandatory.

For mobile users (currently available on Android and soon on iOS), here are the steps to follow:

1. Open the Google App.
2. Tap on the account menu located in the top right corner.
3. Select “Dark Web Report” from the resulting menu.

Keep in mind that the amount of information you feel comfortable sharing with Google may vary. However, even if you provide Google with just the basic information you have already given in the past, it is still highly recommended to use this feature.
