THE BASICSWhat a safe sign-in looks like
Safe access starts before you type anything. Reach the operator's page by its own web address, check that the connection is secure, and enter credentials only there. Sign out when you finish, especially on a shared device.
Check the web address
Copy the address from a source you trust and compare spelling carefully, as fake pages often differ by a single character.
Look for a secure connection
The browser should show a padlock for the exact address you intended to visit.
Type, do not paste links
A link in a message may lead to a copy of the page that steals your details.
Sign out afterwards
Ending a session removes the easiest route for someone else to use your account.
