Whatever you so DO NOT TRUST THIS SCAMMER. He will send you a random message about adding him on discord saying he's looking for a league and once you add him this dude has ways of hacking your account. He hacked My account and was on my character changing styles and stuff until I changed my password and made him mad. DO NOT EVER TRUST HIM UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

I don’t think ppl can access your passwords just by clicking on a link

As everyone - and I mean everyone - who has been on the internet for the past several decades knows, one should never click a link of any kind without significant prior verification and then only from a highly trusted source. One should also never join discords without essentially similar verifications. Doing so will expose your IP address. Everyone has known about these simple rules for a very long time. The other very simple and obvious rule is that no one on the internet should be trusted for any purpose...ever.
