I'm looking at: https://haveibeenpwned.com/ https://haveibeenpwned.com/ I see a link below the search box, which when I click explains he has "partnered" with 1Password, why, and why he liked it prior to the partnership. It also links to this: https://www.troyhunt.com/have-i-been-pwned-is-now-partnering-with-1password/ https://www.troyhunt.com/have-i-been-pwned-is-now-partnering... which has a lot more detail. That's not what I call "without any disclosure". And makes me wonder what your idea of "disclosure" would be.

"Without any disclosure" is clearly false, but it would be nice if the About page didn't still say "[s]hort of the odd donation, all costs for building, running and keeping the service currently come directly out of my own pocket."

If you received one of the breach emails, there is a 1Password ad in the middle with no obvious disclosure that it's an ad / affiliate link. https://i.imgur.com/g5btx15.png https://i.imgur.com/g5btx15.png

  Worth noting that the same emails also solicit donations, and there is no disclosure on the donations page: > If you loved this free service and want to know what goes into making it possible, have a read of the donations page. Buy me a coffee or a beer or just some time with the kids at a movie. https://haveibeenpwned.com/Donate https://haveibeenpwned.com/Donate

Personally, I don't like that it starts with the reasons to not take money ("I've had many offers to sponsor HIBP, to monetarily reward me for product placement and indeed to buy the service outright. I've rejected every single one of them because I didn't want my motives to be questioned"), then it is a _long_ time before he explicitly says he is taking money ("Clearly, this is a commercial relationship - 1Password pays to get their product in front of people via HIBP").
