Read the full domain, check where the link came from and stop if the destination cannot be verified. A familiar logo and padlock icon alone do not establish a website's identity.
Start with the address, not the page's appearance
Before entering a password, tap the address bar and read the entire hostname. In a fictional example, brand.example.com belongs to the domain example.com; placing brand at the front is not evidence that the brand controls it. Watch for similar spellings, extra letters and unexpected hyphens. HTTPS protects the connection, but impersonation sites can use HTTPS too.

Check how you reached the page
Ask how the link reached you. Did it arrive in an unsolicited message, advertisement or QR code with an unknown source? Do not use contact details in a suspicious message to authenticate that same message. Seek confirmation through an independently verified channel. If there is no confirmation, postpone the action.

Make checking a habit
After a destination is verified, create your own bookmark and recheck it when the address changes. Do not assume an old bookmark is always correct if warnings or unusual redirects appear.
