Re: Banks Abandoning SSL On Home Page Log-Ins
And there we have it -- jefe  's logical question is exactly the problem.
No, your user id and password get encrypted -- the HTML source for the page will show that the form data (which you've typed locally) gets TRANSMITTED via an https connection (post) back to Chase. But you have no way of KNOWING this other than to (a) trust them and/or (b) examine the HTML source of the page carefully.
It's just a stupid idea (of the cheapskate banks et al.).
