Login and sign-up pages look alike - how to tell which is real
Exchange login and sign-up pages often share one template, and the domain, the footer, and the language switch are the three places that give a fake away.
To tell a real login page from a real sign-up page, check that the domain matches the official one and that sign-up and login are two separate entries on it.
Key points
Read the domain first
Login and sign-up usually share one main domain such as kucoin.com or bybit.com; an extra letter, a .net ending, or a hyphen means a different site.
Check the footer company name
Scroll to the very bottom and match the legal entity name and the support email suffix; fake pages often carry only a single copyright line.
See if the two entries link to each other
On the login page, clicking sign up should stay on the same domain; if it jumps somewhere else, stop typing.
Test the language switch
An official site keeps the same domain when you change language, while a fake page often sends you to another address.
Common questions
The login page asks for my seed phrase first - is that normal?
No. Login only needs an account and a verification method, so close any page asking for a seed phrase or private key.
Can I trust a login page I reached from search results?
Check the domain in the address bar against the official one first; promoted results often point to lookalike pages.
