Securing Gmail








By default connections to Gmail are not always done in a secure way(normally a simple HTTP connection), which means that information is sent "unprotected" on the web and are therefore easily accessible.
To fix this, follow these steps:
  • Open your Gmail account and click Settings at the top right:
  • Go down the page and check Always use the https protocol.
  • Then click on Save changes.
  • Close your Gmail page, then reopen it. You now use the HTTPS protocol (s secured as: secure.)

  • In addition, the lock icon has appeared at the bottom of the window.

Note:
If you activate this mode, you will not have access Gmail on your iGoogle page. It will open in a tab separately.
