I've searched Safari Settings unsuccessfully for it. ?Maybe it came over from a previous version.

My search lead to that it will preview it in Safari, but that doesn’t give a clue as to if it is safe.

I wondered the same thing, and got no hits by entering the term into the iOS Settings App search window or in a web search; what i did find primarily was a way to expand and abbreviated URL into the specific page actually being visited when using Google chrome as a browser, which is of course something very different.

Re: A little too little knowledge can be dangerous (SMS scam barely avoided)
No, Jim, we live in the same world, we just make different choices. Neither is better than the other, just our choice. I make the occasional online purchase, but then I don’t have as much disposable income as you.?
As someone else pointed out, you read the domain, inaccurately. That is why the scammer constructed it that way.Since I make fewer online purchases, it is easier to recognize, I am not expecting a package, and that triggers the suspicion.?
Also, I believe, that unless you filed a complaint with the USPS, they won’t email you, and they sure won’t text you. Just like the IRS will not call you, or the Sheriff’s office won’t call you to collect a fine.

I guess we live in different worlds. Almost every day there are packages at my door, delivered by FedEx or UPS, and, occasionally, by DHL. But you’re right, there were SO many red flags in that SMS.
I’m still at least 500 miles from the nearest Apple Retail Store. I bought my spouse her first “Apple Silicon” laptop early this week, late in the afternoon. Relatively early the very next day we were unpacking it. Even were I still living with a half dozen Apple Retail stores within 25 miles, doorstep delivery makes sense for so many people.
What I learned from this thread that I didn’t know before is that the source of an incoming or outgoing message is NOT defined by it having a recognized and legitimate domain name buried within it (in this instance, <>, so long as that was “overruled” by what followed a trailing “dash” character.

Re: small problem with new computer
Wow, time to review the shortcut list and learn a few new ones.
Thank you, Bev.

I’m surprised the OP could use a keyboard shortcut to put heralded ?Mac to sleep. It hasn’t been available from System 7 to Catalina, that I can tell, unless it was done somehow with a third party app or something like Hot Corners, but not a key combination.

As Jim already noted, you can use Touch ID so that you don’t have to type your password. ?If you haven’t already set that up see the following Apple Support article:

Doing Get Info on an alias in Finder should show: Original: location-of-original-file
If you accidentally deleted the original, perhaps you can recover it from the Trash.
If the original resides on an external drive, perhaps that drive needs to be connected.

But, doesn’t your new computer HAVE that unmarked “Touch ID” key at the top right? Just train that and you should have access without manually typing a password.

The Touch ID button on MacBook keyboards
can be used to power down (not a forced and
precipitous restart that doesn’t close files, just
an organized shutdown that DOES close files if you
press and hold the Touch ID for several seconds. It
can also bring up accessibility choices if you tap
it rapidly 3 times, but I DON’T think it can be used
to sleep the machine or log out the active user. Of
course, it’s primary purpose is to log IN to the
current account when the Mac is sleeping.
