Secure Login : FireFox Addon of the day

Secure Login is a small, but very useful Mozilla Firefox login extension similar to Opera’s Wand login.

Secure Login uses the built-in password manager, but deactivates the prefilling of login forms. Instead, you are now able to login with one click or a keyboard shortcut. Just add the Secure Login toolbar button to your toolbar, or use the provided statusbar icon.

Instead of logging into a website by filling out the username and password form you login by clicking a button or using a shortcut. This is a great way to prevent the execution of malicious Javascript code that could “phish” your data.

Javascript will be temporarily disabled during login and the data is send right to the website that you want to login to. The Domain that you are currently on and that you want to login to are compared to ensure that you are indeed at the right website. A mismatch would result in a popup warning.

Some websites use Javascript for their login routine and Secure Login offers a list that contains site that are exceptions. Just add the website as an exception if you can’t login using the Secure Login extension.

Secure Login provides you with a number of security enhancements and helps protecting you from phishing.
