Re: Banks Abandoning SSL On Home Page Log-Ins

Considering the fact that the IT responsible for my local library is so paranoid that the entire website is SSL protected, I find this amusing. I'm paranoid that if I can't tell the info is secured before logging on to a financial institution I won't. Security conscious customers should make it clear that security trumps speed.

When customers don't know the difference between something that protects them from a danger, and something that has no effect on this whatsoever, I don't think they should get a vote.

It might not make a difference on the main page - but how is a customer to tell the actual login is SSL without having to log in first?
