check the sender domain before a reset link

Password reset mail is the easiest to fake. Compare the sender domain, the landing address bar and whether the page asks for your old password.

Short answer

A reset email is genuine only when its sender domain matches the official site and the landing page never asks for your old password or seed phrase.

Key points

  • sender domain

    Expand the sender address and read the part after the @; one extra letter or a .net ending means it is not the official domain.

  • landing address bar

    Open the button but do not type yet. Compare the address bar spelling with the official domain word by word, including any path prefix.

  • what the page asks

    A real reset form asks for a new password and a code only. Old password, seed phrase or private key requests mean close the tab.

  • link text vs target

    Hover over the button and compare the address shown in the status bar with the text printed on the button.

Common questions

How long should a reset email take to arrive?

Check the spam folder and the spelled sender domain first, then start the reset again from the official login page instead of a link in a strange email.

The page asks for my old password after I click, is that normal?

No. A reset flow never needs the old password, so that field means the page is not the official entry.
