SUMMARY

Users may see security-enhanced and nonsecure mode dialog boxes when they sign in to Passport.

MORE INFORMATION

Many browsers have a default setting that warns users if they are changing between security-enhanced and nonsecure modes. This setting may display up to two dialog boxes during the sign-in process: the first indicates a switch to an encrypted connection, and the second indicates a switch back to a nonsecure connection. You may be able to turn off these messages by selecting In the future, do not show this warning in the dialog box.

This is a browser behavior and cannot be defeated by Passport or any other code. Passport Web sites must inform users that this dialog box may appear, depending on their browsers and security settings.
