Sign-in warning tweak to remind/limit phishing attempts

Components

• A small tweak on the Steemit login page

Proposal

• Add a text in red to warn of potential Phishing attempts.

Mockups / Examples

Benefits

• New users will become more aware of the risks from the start and every login screen.
• It will also serve as a reminder at each login to check the URL.
• Because it is in red, it is more likely that it will be noticed if missing.
• Phishing sites are very unlikely to add the text which gives users a chance to 'notice something off'.

Since nothing seems to be getting done due to censorship concerns, we should be tweaking every bit of the UI to serve as education and reminders for all users to be additionally careful when going off site and especially when logging-in.

There are many ways to at least limit the damage of phishing scam attempts without encroaching on censorship issues and protecting users should be part of the community's responsibility. The UI is an easy place to adjust for improved security behaviours.
