Oh man I am with you on this in that, the fact that it's not a phishing site, to me, means google is sending the completely wrong message to users. Here is a site with a non-google.com URL that expects users to know that only google owns that TLD, has a non Google sign in page, uses google logo. Eek.
- j45 3y agoA little surprising they wouldn’t use their own tld but maybe that takes too much work to get setup.
- swores 3y agoThey literally are using their own TLD, ".google". The comment you replied to is surprised that they did use their own TLD, thinking they should stick with their classic domain on not their own TLD (google.com)
- j45 3y agoYou're right, I meant google.com However, using their own .google TLD makes sense the closer I looked at this link after you brought my attention to it. This appears to be a branded and hosted version of a third party learning platform that might be simpler to deliver a whitelabeled expereince. The login experience (either to use your google credentials or create your own account) seems to be the confusing piece. I would not be surprised if this is not a third party piece of software in which case the login screen makes sense.
- notatoad 3y agothe sign-in flow directs you to a normal google.com sign-in, or you can use the sign-up form on this site just like any other non-google site - they're not asking you to enter your google account credentials here.
