Small, single-purpose checkers for the email problems that are easier to answer with a tool than with a paragraph. Every one runs entirely in your browser.

Nothing you type is sent anywhere. These tools contain no network requests at all. Nothing is logged, nothing is stored, and there is no sign-up. You can confirm it by opening your browser developer tools and watching the network tab while you use them.

All tools

Built because the answer was genuinely hard to give in prose, not to have tools.

Which one do you need?

You have a sign-in page or a link in front of you and you are not sure it is genuine. Use the sign-in URL checker. Paste the address before you type a password into it.

You can still get into your mailbox, and you want to know whether you could get back in if the password stopped working. Use the account recovery checker. This is the one to run while nothing is wrong, because every recovery method has to be added while you still have access to the account.

You have already lost access. Neither tool will help, and we would rather say so than waste your time. Go straight to the walkthrough for your provider: recovering a Hotmail or Outlook account, or recovering a Gmail or Google account.

What each tool actually inspects

The sign-in URL checker reads the address and nothing else. It looks for the four things that let a fake sign-in page survive a glance:

The account recovery checker scores the methods on your account for independence rather than for how many there are. Three recovery routes that all depend on the same phone are one route. It flags a recovery address that lives on the very account you would be locked out of, and it tells you which single thing to fix first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these tools send anything to a server?
No. There is no network request in either page. You can confirm it by opening your browser developer tools, switching to the network tab, and using the tool while you watch. Nothing is logged, nothing is stored, and there is no sign-up.
Do they work on a phone?
Yes. Both run entirely in the browser and behave the same on a phone, a tablet or a desktop. There is nothing to install.
Why use a checker instead of just reading the address?
Because the two most effective tricks are built to survive being read. login.live.com.attacker.net contains a genuine Microsoft domain, and a Cyrillic character inside a word renders identically to the Latin one. Both look correct. A checker parses the address the way a browser does rather than the way an eye does.
Can the sign-in URL checker tell me whether a page is safe?
No, and it does not claim to. It inspects the address and nothing else. A genuine provider address can still be reached through a compromised link, and a page can be harmful for reasons that never appear in its URL. Treat a pass as one check that succeeded, not as permission to enter a password.
Do I need an account to use them?
No. There is no sign-up, no email address to hand over, and no limit on how many times you can run either tool.
