However, I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know for sure. Hence why I said "as far as I know" | |

| Mar 2, 2020 at 17:08 | comment | added | Barmar | @AntiNoise This is an inherent danger if you have to manually select the password to paste, rather than the browser doing it automatically. | |
| Mar 2, 2020 at 11:12 | comment | added | AntiNoise | To be clear, this was in no way a phishing site, it just has a KeePass entry that appears similar to the site I intended to launch. Both are related to rent and utility payments but one is for viewing only (the site I mistakenly launched, then ran the actual payment site logon in its fields). I'm renaming one of the entries to reduce the chance of this happening again. | |
