EFF's Surveillance Self-Defense guide describes credential-harvesting and targeted spearphishing and gives defences. It stresses updates, password-manager autofill as a warning signal and hardware keys or passkeys that will not work on fake sites.
Quick steps
- Keep your OS and apps updated
- Treat a password manager refusing to autofill as a warning
- Confirm odd requests through a separate channel
- Use security keys or passkeys where possible
