Scams are getting good enough that I'm now skeptical/paranoid every time I get a legit email.

"Click link" ? I think not. Gonna log in myself in a new window and try to navigate to the same thing on my own.

The sophistication of scam emails these days is a big part of the switch to Passkeys, just physically making it impossible to give your credentials to the scammer site.
it doesn't help that all these companies' legitimate emails contain suspicious-looking links in the first place. the link tracking/shortening that's built into these services isn't doing them any favors for their actually important emails
