How to spot a fake login page

Fake login pages try to look real but have red flags. Check the web address in your browser, look for HTTPS and a padlock, and hover over links before clicking. If something feels off, go to the website directly by typing the address instead of clicking a link.

Scammers create fake login pages that look almost identical to the real thing. They trick you into entering your password, which they then use to break into your account. The good news is that fake pages almost always have telltale signs if you know what to look for. Learning to spot these signs before you enter your password keeps your accounts safe.
