TLDR Phishing is a term used for the act of tricking you into providing your password or other sensitive information to an impostor. The right thing to do is to go to your bank's website and login from there. Check the URL, which is the address of the web page. Utilize your password manager if you have a password manager. Unlike humans, password managers don't fall for phishers. If you end up on a phishing website, your manager won't recognize it and it won't offer to offer to fill your credentials.via the TL;DR App
