Just realized my password manager saved me from a fake website last week
I was logging into my bank's site, the one on Main Street in Portland, and it looked totally normal. But my password manager didn't autofill, which was weird. Turns out the URL had a tiny typo - like 'bankofamerca.com' instead of the real one. Has anyone else had their password manager catch a scam like that?

Honestly is it that big of a deal tho? Like yeah it's a scam but you didn't fall for it so who cares.

omg literally same thing happened to me with a "paypal" login page. my manager just straight up refused to fill in my info and i was so annoyed at first lol. turns out the url had an extra letter and the whole site was a perfect copy. now i never ignore when it doesnt autofill, thats basically my new rule. its literally the only way i caught it too.
