Seems to me Troy Hunt (the independent developer of https://HaveIbeenPwned.com/ https://HaveIbeenPwned.com/) and Cloudflare's Junade Ali deserve at least a mention in the Google announcement. They're pioneers of this database of pwned passwords and the ability to look up candidate passwords securely.

Mr. Hunt personally paid to operate these services for quite a few years. Then he got sponsorship from 1Password to defray the server costs.
- Ajedi32 7y agoI suppose you could give Troy Hunt credit for popularizing the idea of anonymously checking for breached credentials, but Google doesn't use HaveIBeenPwned's database, nor is their method for checking for exposed passwords quite the same.
- dhdhebsb 7y agoI’m happy to see this comment. I guess I don’t really care if Google wants to succumb to NIH syndrome and build this themselves, but they should at least acknowledge the person whose idea they are repackaging.
