Phishing

You've been on the internet long enough to know what phishing is so I won't explain this too much.

You can always get tricked with a good email or malicious link that leads you to a login page. Always, always, always, always look at the full URL. Green locks and any other bells and whistles won't help you. But.... there is always a small chance that your DNS is being hijacked (what's that? Google "DNS hijacking") and the URL is right, in which case your browser will tell you that the HTTPS key has changed. Long story short, use a modern updated browser, listen to your browser and think. It's happened to me, it might happen to you, just don't lose your email account or your password manager.

One of the biggest things you can do to avoid getting phished is to learn what a phishing attempt looks like.

Phishing and 2FA

It still works if you give them your 2FA credentials. Sorry.
