Signals that a Tor Watch page is phishing for logins
A phishing page wants one thing from you: something you type.
Login before content
A page that demands credentials before showing anything else deserves suspicion, especially if the onion address is new to you.
Urgency messages
Warnings that you must log in now to avoid losing access are a classic pressure tactic.
Mismatched details
Small differences in wording, layout or the address bar compared with your notes are reasons to stop.
Close and compare
Close the tab, compare the Tor Watch onion address with your log and only return through a verified link.
