Things happen.
Despite what your browser says, the link itself isn't dangerous. Web browsers aren't dangerous. Its USERS that are dangerous.
All the single, or worse zero click, attack vectors tend to imply that browsers (or software in general) definitely do have a hand in this.
So before putting your username and password into a web site it’s a good idea to check the whole URL matches what you expect.
Sadly, some of the aforementioned vectors (bugs) have allowed malicious sites to change the appearance of the address in the URL bar.
... personally, I recommend a password manager. The you don't know any passwords and can't put them in by accident, and it knows which passwords match which site URL so it won't put them in a phishing site....
+1 on password managers being a good idea. PSA: Not all password managers are created equally. Grant. . . .
