Abstract
A device determines that a data breach of an application has been reported and determines that an individual has an account with the application based on identifying an association between an application identifier and a username the individual uses to access the application. The device receives, from a user device associated with the individual, password information used to access the application. The device uses the password information and usernames for a group of applications with which the individual has accounts to perform a login procedure for the group of applications to determine that login information for one or more of the applications includes the password information used to access the application affected by the data breach. The device provides, to the user device or another device, a recommendation to change the password information used to access the application and the one or more applications.
