Sherlock! The easy how to guide.
You want to find other accounts that share a username but do not want to spend time going on every platform looking for it. Sherlock is here to help and this is a quick and easy guide to run it. (BTW NOT MY TOOL OF COURSE)
1. Install Python and Sherlock duh.. - To download Sherlock and hunt down other usernames you will need to run this in your terminal ~$ git clone https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock.git then run ~$ cd sherlock and finish off with requirements and paste ~/sherlock$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
2. Make sure that you have python installed please or it will not work
3. To see the help menu you can run python3 sherlock.py -h from inside the /sherlock folder to see the help menu.
4. Now that sherlock is running and ready you can start to look up the screen names you want to find.
5. To find it type in ~/sherlock$ python3 sherlock.py (INSERT USER OF YOUR CHOICE) -r --print-found make sure to fill the part in parentheses in please. Don't be a dumb ass.
6. Now the menu will be pulled up and a lot of usernames will be brought up for different socials. Some might have Error written, that might be because it didn't load properly or there is not a name that is listed on the social.
7. Have fun and feel free to save this quick easy guide to your computer to use another time or just visit this thread again.

I think similar to this script
https://github.com/qeeqbox/social-analyzer
better use another username in any new site
not only a new password
