Stop Gmail sending passwords in the clear

Published by Bruce on July 9, 2007 in Quicklinks. Tags: google, Quicklinks, security, tips.

Make Gmail Notifier use a secure HTTPS connection when checking your inbox: hold down Command and Option keys while clicking Preferences in the Notifier menu and enter "SecureAlways" (without quotes) for Key and "1" for Value, then Set before quitting and re-launching (via maxoshints.com).

I didn't even know Google Notifier sent passwords in the open. Thanks a bunch for this tip.
