Re: Banks Abandoning SSL On Home Page Log-Ins

I prefer to know that it's being encrypted before I submit sensitive information. I think that it's bad form to train people to input sensitive information into a non encrypted page.
Why is this such an issue anyway? The entire home page doesn't have to be encrypted. Can't they just create a small encrypted frame, on the home page?

Having an encrypted frame inside a frameset where other frames are not encrypted won't display the HTTPS padlock.

You're referring to a non encrypted page that loads an encrypted frame. I'm talking about an encrypted frame that loads the rest of the non encrypted page. Yea, I really said it backwards. Lets say the URL is https, but that address only contains 1 small frame, on the page, that loads the rest of the non encrypted page.

I must admit that I still wouldn't like it. I wouldn't be able to tell, at a glance, if the frame, where my username and password is going, is encrypted or not. But this would appease Steves' so called "ignorant people."
