What is a Sign-in Seal?
Creating a Sign-In Seal is a way to help protect yourself from password theft and phishing scams by displaying an image that lets you know that you are typing your username and password into the proper site. A sign-in seal ensures that even if you click a web link from a phishing email, you will quickly realize that the web site that loads is not the original because it would be missing this seal.
What is Phishing
Phishing (pronounced just like “fishing”) is a clever technique employed by swindlers to trick you into revealing personal or sensitive information such as login details. A phishing attack involves an email which acts as a bait and a fraudulent web site that is disguised to look like the original.
