practical review
What to check on this route
On this first open page, treat route check, prompt check and exit check as separate evidence checks. Compare their results before deciding what the next action should be.
Route check
Compare the address or source with the one you intended to open.
Prompt check
Reject requests for remote access, screen sharing or secrets.
Exit check
Locate sign-out and close controls before entering any personal details.
five-step method
A reversible checklist
For first open, begin with this first check: Pause if the route redirects to an unfamiliar host. Keep the sequence intact through the final check: Leave the session if the purpose of a prompt is unclear. Record what changed before moving on.
- Pause if the route redirects to an unfamiliar host.
- Allow notifications only if you want them.
- Do not reuse a password from email or banking.
- Never disclose an OTP or recovery code during first-open checks.
- Leave the session if the purpose of a prompt is unclear.
