Caught my password manager autofilling on a phishing page last Tuesday

I always thought I was being careful. Clicked a link from an email that looked like my bank's login screen. Password manager filled it in before I even noticed the URL was off by one letter. That split second where I saw the wrong domain in the corner made my stomach drop. How do you guys double check the URL before letting autofill go through?

Little bit of a different take on this. Most password managers let you set it to require a manual click before it fills anything. That way it never auto fills on its own. Just takes a few seconds to look at the address bar before you click.

Wait, people actually have theirs set to auto fill without checking first?
