Comment on Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) Phishingparent

This looks a lot like a Oauth request, where you are redirected to sign-in. You check the URL and enter the creds, with the assumption that you are using "Sign in with Microsoft" to login to the site since this is how that login flow works

That’s the thing. For a desktop app, they can pop up a chromeless web view with the Oauth login page. You can’t vet the authenticity at all.
