US Patent 11488084 Computer systems and methods to protect user credential against phishing

Computer systems and methods to protect user credential against phishing with security measures applied based on determination of phishing risks of locations being visited, phishing susceptibility of users, roles of users, verification of senders of messages, and/or the timing of stages in accessing and interacting with the locations. For example, when a site is unclassified at the onset of being accessed by a user device, security measures can be selectively applied to allow the site to be initially viewed on the user device, but disallow some user interactions to reduce phishing risk. For example, a response to a domain name system (DNS) request can be customized based on a user risk level. For example, a message can be displayed without a profile picture of a contact of a user when the sender of the message appears to be the contact but cannot be verified to be the contact.
