Compare two addresses

Clipboard malware replaces a copied address with one that starts and ends the same. Paste both versions; every character that differs is marked.

A valid format does not mean the address belongs to the right person. It only means the address is well-formed. Compare the whole address with the source and send a small test amount first.

FAQ

How do I know if my clipboard changed an address?

Paste the address from the original source and the address that ended up in the wallet into the two fields. If any character differs, do not send.

Is checking the first and last characters enough?

No. Look-alike addresses are generated to match exactly those. Compare the whole address.
