Had a password manager scare last Tuesday that made me rethink EVERYTHING

I clicked this one email that LOOKED like it was from Bitwarden saying my vault was locked. Typed in my master password before I realized the URL was bitwarden-secure dot com or something dumb. Spent 4 hours that night changing 47 different logins and turning on 2FA everywhere I could. The worst part? My dog grooming shop's booking system password was the SAME one I used for a forum in 2019. Has anyone else almost fallen for a really good phishing lookalike?

Phishing emails are getting way too good. Had a similar scare last year with a fake PayPal email. The domain was paypa1-secure dot com or something. Almost typed my info in but noticed the logo was slightly off. The scary part is how they copy everything perfectly now. Even the footer links look real.

@dixon.felix I get what you're saying but honestly I think people get spooked way too easy. Those fake pages are obvious if you slow down for two seconds. The logo being off? That's a dead giveaway if you actually look.
