SSL or Secured Sockets Layer is a protocol that transmits your communications over the Internet in an encrypted form. SSL ensures that the information is sent unchanged only to the server you intended to send it to. Online shopping sites frequently use SSL technology to safeguard your credit card information
Yahoo! gives you the option of encrypting your sign-in information by using %26quot;secure mode.%26quot; When you sign in using secure mode, you are using industry-standard SSL encryption technology to protect the data you transmit.
While secure mode provides SSL encryption, pages will take longer to download. Most users choose to sign in using standard mode to achieve quicker response time.
The default mode is standard. If you would like to sign in using secure mode, click the %26quot;Secure%26quot; link directly below the sign-in button. To switch from secure to standard mode, simply sign out of your account. After you have signed out, you will be taken to a sign-in screen where you can sign in through standard mode. Currently we do not offer the option to sign in securely as a default.
If you receive browser warnings when going from secure mode pages to non-SSL Yahoo! sites, it is most likely a warning that you are switching servers. Please note that only your sign-in information (Yahoo! ID and password) will be transmitted on a Yahoo! SSL server. Other actions performed within Yahoo! Mail will not be conducted on a Yahoo! SSL server.
Secure mode is not supported by all browsers. You may need to download the latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator or upgrade your browser to take advantage of secure sign-in. Even if you are using the current version of your web browser, you may need to adjust your security settings. Check your web browser%26#039;s help pages for instructions.
