Four stores, one single program.
Discount Searcher gets the information about the deals through the public CheapShark API, a service that collects the discounts of several digital stores. Game genres come from the public Steam API.
Independent project. Discount Searcher is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by any of the listed stores or by CheapShark. The prices shown are the ones provided by those sources: the valid price is always the one shown by the store at the moment of purchase.
An account that follows you, protected by concrete measures.
The account makes your history available on any computer. Here is how it is protected, without inflated promises.
-
Sign-up and email verification
When you sign up you receive a 6-digit code, valid for 15 minutes. Until the email is confirmed, the account cannot sign in.
-
Passwords never stored in clear text
Only a value derived from the password stays on the server, computed with a random element that is different for every user.
-
Protected sign-in
When something is wrong, the message does not reveal whether it is the username or the password. Every sign-in creates a session the server can revoke.
-
Repeated attempts blocked
After several failed attempts in a row on the same username, signing in is suspended temporarily.
-
Password recovery
A 6-digit code sent to the registered email address lets you set a new password. After the reset, every connected computer is signed out.
-
Changes confirmed and notified
Username and password can only be changed by entering the current password; the email also needs two codes, one sent to the old address and one to the new one. Every change is notified by email to the previous address.
-
Several computers, one account
Sign in from different computers with the same credentials and find your history again. When you change the password, the other computers are signed out.

At the first start Windows may show a warning. The application does not have a paid digital signature, so SmartScreen reports that the publisher is not recognised: choose More info and then Run anyway. If you would rather not, open a ticket and we can talk about it.
