HackerOne now requires identity verification via Veriff for anyone submitting to reward-based bug bounty programs, detailing steps (document photo and live selfie), technical restrictions (no VPNs, emulators, scanned IDs), accepted ID types, typical review timelines (48 hours to three business days), annual renewal requirements, and the separate H1 Clear program with background checks; vulnerability disclosure programs remain open to unverified researchers.
