No client should be asking you to disclose a strictly personal password - it could be a form of "phishing". Are you sure the screen document actually came from OneDocument?

A feature of proz Aug 21, 2019

My understanding:
If you're already connected to proz on your device/computer, the link (you likely received in an email) will direct you to the invitation without your entering your proz.com credentials.
It's not the agency that ask for your proz credentials, but proz.com.

Cross-purposes. Aug 21, 2019

Respectfully, Philippe, your construction of the matter is at variance with the information on the prompt screen: the user is prompted to enter his login information, and is manifestly not already logged in.

Hovering over - and not clicking on - the links in the screen will show up any rogue or nonsense addresses.

The proceeding is in any case sufficiently out of the ordinary to warrant caution, as I have urged.

Just as respectfully, precisely.
The same happens when you're redirected to a Paypal page to confirm the transaction after making a purchase: If your Paypal account is not "always on", Paypal asks for your credentials, not the selling party. Hence my tentative explanation. I know for a fact that this company uses some proz.com platform, but I've never come across this (proz.com) page, since I am always signed in with proz.com.
The OP can check, first signing in to proz.com the usual way, then clicking the invitation email link, to see if he gets the same behaviour.

I unearthed an mass mail from this company, this is what they use: https://www.proz.com/proz-translation-center

It is also very possible that some hardening change was made and a double ID check is now required to see the "invitation".

Yes, this will show if anything is out of the ordinary.
In other words: when hearing hoofs, first think of a horse. If after a close look it's not a horse, then think of a unicorn.

But the way it's presented clearly leads to some confusion.
