The post calls this out:

> the 1Password browser plugin would have noticed that “members-x.com” wasn’t an “x.com” host.

But shared accounts are tricky here, like the post says it's not part of their IdP / SSO and can't be, so it has to be something different. Yes, they can and should use Passkeys and/or 1password browser integration, but if you only have a few shared accounts, that difference makes for a different workflow regardless.

Yes; 1Password was used. And it worked properly. But because humans are fallible, a human made a mistake anyways.

"Properly working password managers" do not provide a strong defense against real world phishing attacks. The weak link of a phishing attack is human fallibility.
