If your like me you love Gmail. The tagging, chatting, and of course the massive storage. But have you ever noticed when you type www.gmail.com you get redirected to https://www.google.com/… Secure right… Not totally. Once you log into you are redirected to http://mail.google.com/… which is insecure. Granted if you are at home and your system is clean with nothing sniffing network traffic you are fine. But I want more security.
To make your entire Gmail session secure simply type https://www.gmail.com. This will redirect you to the same secure log in page as before. But once you log in it directs you to https://mail.google.com/… Your Gmail session is now secure and everything is on https.
Higher security by typing 8 more characters. It is worth it to me. Is it worth it to you?
