Still, stay alert
No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.
- Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on mykeycounter.com and not a lookalike like m-ykeycounter.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.
- Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

- Yes. mykeycounter.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 45 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
- mykeycounter.com is 10.8 years old, registered on 8/28/2015 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

- No. mykeycounter.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
