1Check before typing

Look at the onion name in the address bar before entering anything.

2Beware of instant login prompts

A page that asks for credentials before you have navigated anywhere deserves suspicion.

3Use bookmarks

Opening Tor Watch from a dated bookmark avoids most fake pages.

4If you typed something

Close the page, change the password from a trusted link and enable any extra protection offered.
