Secure Login is a Firefox extension that is similar to Opera’s Wand feature. 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.
Username and Password fields are colored orange and a sound can be played (optional) to let you know that you reached a page with a login form. The shortcust ALT + N would send the login details to the server without filling out the form. this is a very convenient way to login.
Secure Login offers additional protection against cross site scripting attacks by protecting from any Javascript code during logon. This is an optional setting that can be enabled in the extension’s options.
