1Password is introducing a new phishing prevention feature

"To help reduce the risk of one succeeding, either at work or at home, 1Password is introducing a new phishing prevention feature that will watch for telltale signs of an attack, such as a website URL that's slightly misspelled. When a 1Password user clicks a link and opens a website with a URL that doesn't match the one they have saved alongside login details, the 1Password browser extension will do two things."

"It won't autofill their login credentials, and it will display a pop-up warning explaining that the current website's URL "isn't linked to a login in 1Password." The feature isn't a foolproof way to stop phishing attacks from succeeding. Users can still choose to manually copy and paste their credentials into a suspicious website. But it will make them aware that they're potentially dealing with a phishing scam with the hope that they will think twice and exercise more caution before proceeding."

Phishing attacks can cost businesses about $4.8 million on average. 1Password adds a phishing prevention feature in its browser extension that detects indicators such as slightly misspelled URLs. When a saved login's URL does not match the current site, the extension prevents autofill and shows a pop-up stating the site's URL isn't linked to that login. The feature does not block users from manually copying and pasting credentials, so it is not foolproof. The feature is rolling out now and will be enabled by default for individual and family plans; business accounts require 1Password Admins to enable it manually.
