I'm familiar with the fact that users are oblivious to the URL scheme (other things real users don't pay any attention to, in a test where they're entering their own, real banking credentials include: those images that confirm the remote site knows who you are by acting as a shared secret, a warning icon in the URL bar, and a dialog saying that the connection is insecure)

I wasn't relying on users to notice that something is wrong so much as for them not to notice that anything has changed. The users I deal with don't _seem_ to read that message about pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del and you can't stop it working, so it seemed to me that if people just press it by reflex everything works out OK. Judging from the other reply though, I was wrong.
