If you’re one of those people that use Roboform
to save passwords, then you’ll now see how to
identify phishing/fake sites with the help of
Roboform.
You see, every single day we releases tons of
spam emails. Among those are a couple of
phishing emails… telling us that for the sake
of security or something, we need to update our
account details immediately.
Most such emails can be identified from the links
in them — where the linktext mentions one website
and some other unknown website is displayed in
the status bar of your browser.
However, the second opportunity to identify such
websites is when (if by chance) you click on the
link and visit that site.
Normally when you save the password in Roboform
the first time, I’d assume you accessed the
website by entering the original url into your
browser and then saved the password.
Well the good thing about Roboform is…
From that point onwards, whenever you are on that
ORIGINAL website, the passcard of the website
will display in the Robofrom toolbar.
Whereas if the website you’re using is a fake or
phishing website, the passcard does not display.
This instantly shows you that the website is not
the original website and you can avoid entering
your data into it.
I know that a lot of people use Roboform these
days. So I thought you might just find this tip
useful.
If you’re still not using Roboform, you should
definitely give it a try.
It will save you a lot of time.
