New Changes to SimpleLogin free plan that upset me

Son, founder of SL here.

  1. The account deletion is moved to the “Account Settings page” along with other account related settings as the previous Settings page has too many options

  1. The “free breach” is an unofficial feature that we haven’t advertised, as it was still in development. It uses the HIBP API that recently increases their price. And as the number of aliases in SL have significantly increased, we have to upgrade to the more expensive options in HIBP and financially can’t just propose this for free. The data breach monitoring feature is still under development, mostly for stability and scalability, we’ll make an announcement for it when it’s done.

  2. The limit for creating reverse aliases has been mentioned on SimpleLogin | Pricing since Apr 2022 (commit) before it was enforced last month. That leaves enough time for new users to be informed and make their choice. It only affects new accounts, existing accounts before the enforcement date aren’t affected and can still create new reverse aliases.
