This is genius I would totally fall for this.

I think there's literally no difference between the phishing and real pictures.

Things that would make me notice this: My auto password is not popping up (yes I use that). I could drag the window to top or make it full screen and that won't work. I could check if another window is actually open in the taskbar



>Things that would make me notice this: My auto password is not popping up

On macOS with 1password, there are numerous occasions where this is the case, from SSBs and electron apps, to random other things that 1P just doesn't see. I have to copy/paste my password just often enough that I'd probably fall for this in-browser if I weren't paying much attention.


Yep but I mean the built in chrome auto password suggestions


I miss the old Windows 95 days of every open window having a visible tab on the panel next to the Start menu. But of course, nowadays everyone has dozens of open applications at all times, so it's a less feasible design.


Well, everyone but me is dumb, then.

On my Windows 10 work systems, I turn off the default "hide and collapse" behavior so I can read the window titles.

I know normal users cannot read, but the titles are useful for me.


Same here. I cannot imagine using Windows with the default "combine taskbar items" behavior, I've turned it off ever since it was introduced in the XP days.


Win95 (and newer) let apps create windows that are not visible and don't appear in taskbar.


The real window has a scrollbar, the fake doesn't. But I'm pretty sure a scrollbar could be faked as well with a little more effort.


Totally missed that
