Does that make it dangerous to log in persistently anywhere, period, in case you click on a shady link? I legitimately don’t know much and trust common sense prevention (run sites through virus total if I’m not familiar with them) and built in protection to do most of it, and I haven’t had any known password thefts from anything other than servers getting hacked. I do have an authenticator app and use it on really important stuff (government, school) but that’s about it.
well, i’ve been taught that keeping cookies around is somewhat dangerous, and that because of that browsers like librewolf always clear your cookies. i’m by no means an expert tho, so you might wanna read the other commenters input on that.
The other commenter is wrong, overconfident, and said earlier today that it's basically impossible to lock your keys in a car. I would run, not walk, from any tips they have.
