Spent $80 on a password manager for the year and it paid off fast

I got hit with a phishing email about 6 months ago that looked almost real. It was from what I thought was my bank saying there was a login attempt from a new device. I almost clicked until my password manager caught it because the URL didn't match what I had saved for my bank. That $8 a month has saved me from at least two more phishing tries since then. The manager also flagged reused passwords across 15 of my accounts, so I fixed those too. Has anyone else had their password manager catch a fake site before you clicked it?

Did you check if it caught any typosquatting domains? Same thing happened to me. It spotted a bank link with a .co instead of .com. Would've never seen that.

Used to think typosquatting was overblown until it caught one I clicked on. @the_reese you definitely changed my mind on this one.
