I'm simply saying people shouldn't type in their Messenger password on every random site (referring to phising sites offering block checks etc.) and assume it will be safe. I don't get your comparisons tho, the things you talk about take quite a bit of effort and resources... keeping your password secure is just common sense IMHO.

I understand that, so do I. But as I explained providing full protection against phishing sites is just not possible.

That makes you ignorant.

How would you submit bad sites, how do we verify which ones are indeed bad and which ones are false positives? Microsoft has their own blocklist on Messenger, but with way more resources than Plus! they are completely failing to provide any kind of security trough it. I'm not against the idea, but if something like this would be done it should be done right. As you said, don't want to be taught... they want to rely on a scanner like this blindly. I just don't see yet how a blocklist could provide enough security instead of being some kind of false hope.

That would be a nice feature, when the software detects such things it could point to good quality resources (removal tools/changing your password/bakground info). But that's when the harm is already done, neither does it protect against attacks which just log in under your account serverside.
