Why is Pistonheads not secure? -no HTTPS plain text password

[porridge]

Surprised I have not noticed before, but any reason why Pistonheads have elected not to enable basic security i.e. HTTPS, especially on login page?

Have checked and login details and password are all sent as plain text.

Good question.

We will be doing some work around this in the coming months.

Are you building up to a night of drunken keyboard abuse against fellow PHers with a view to blaming it on 'someone must have hacked my account because of the plain text passwords...' ?



Seriously though - as long as you don't use the same password for anything sensitive who really cares?
