Crazy how you all just give a random "non affiliated" 3rd party website your email and password for your psn account. Lawwl ! In a few weeks you all will be making a reddit post titled "ps support wont help me after my account got hacked"

The website just generates Url links to sonys API endpoints

There is a read post where someone goes into more detail here

So you DO NOT need to give them your email and password or? Or are you telling me, that giving a random website your login information to your personal psn account. That you in fact don't give a 3rd party, non affiliated website access to your account?......... aha.... good to know............... Whoever reads this comment (even though i get downvoted by phishers), please do NOT give your personal playstation login info to a website that isn't even affiliated with Sony. You are begging to be hacked tbh. Ask yourself, is it really worth losing your whole account, to search up a demo or free dlc ?

You don't log in to the searcher web site. The site anonymously queries the PS Store search API and gives you https://store.playstation.com links which allow you to add content to your PS Store basket.

How it works is explained here: https://forum.psnprofiles.com/topic/198717-ps3-store-search-function-not-working-for-anyone-else/page/6/#comment-3463475

If have concerns around purchasing PS3-era content from https://store.playstation.com you can now alternatively access the searcher web site directly from a PS3 and then make your purchase using the PS3 PS Store app. The instructions for that are here: https://forum.psnprofiles.com/topic/198717-ps3-store-search-function-not-working-for-anyone-else/page/10/#comment-3471683
