Do passwords/page refreshing compromise Tor security? : Tor | Torhoo darknet markets

Hi all. I am using Tor (javascript disabled and safest level) on Tails (default settings). When looking up how to get to a basic set up, I came across something that said Tor security can be compromised when a) entering a password, b) refreshing a page, or c) both, basically making you vulnerable to attackers or allowing your ISP to view your activity. Sadly I don't remember where I saw that so that I can look into it more. Could someone enlighten me regarding the validity of above claims?
Doesn't sound like anything I'm familiar with.
Now, using HTTP (Non secure sites) and putting in your password, the exit node would see your information. Very few sites are HTTP only anymore that require logins, but is something to keep in mind. .onion are not affected, this is with a clearnet HTTP (NOT HTTPS site) over Tor.

Beyond that, no, I'm not sure what you are referring to.
There's also more risk with using Tor for Windows or Mac, then something the /d/dnmbible recommends like Tails or Whonix.

The source you have found these information on is not reliable. It really depends on the scenario, but a good understanding of how Tor works will surely clear all these doubt away.

First thing first, you don't want to use any accounts tied to your real identity with Tor, as that won't have any effect and you will lose all the anonymity gained with Tor usage.
Second, I don't see how refreshing a page could actually de-anonymize or compromise you in any way as long as your browser is set to the most secure setting.
Third point, your ISP will not be able to spy on anything you are doing on Tor, only the traffic itself will be visible (if you don't use a bridge or a VPN, better to use a bridge anyway if your traffic is "sensible"), basically the fact that you are browsing on Tor (nothing to fear about, as it's completely legal in most of world).

TL;DR
Those claims are bullshit for the most part. You are safe as long as you start practicing good OPsec.

Stay safe.
