One of the most common ways of people getting hacked for their online accounts is phishing. Inputs.io combats phishing by making it easy for users to determine if the site is legitimate.



Just one of the numerous innovative security features of Inputs.io.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

If you have time to examine the anti-phishing bar to make sure your last login date is correct, why wouldn't you have the time to check your address bar? Surely it would be easier to check an url than to remember when you last logged in.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Agreed and on top of that the key icon in a browser windows is a lot harder to forge. Either the machine or the server needs to be compromised (or the ssl cert needs to get stolen or something similar).

Also when you already provided your login details to a phishing site they can just fetch this bar from the real website I guess.

Because people are dumb and don't bother looking up. It doesn't provide much additional security to those who already check addresses, but most people unfortunately don't. You have to force them to do so - and bring it to the center of their attention.

This is in the home page - before you enter your details.
