SMF Secure Login

[青山 素子]

I seriously recommend securing the entire site using HTTPS, and not just the login page. It's much easier to do since there is no mod needed and some search engines give a slightly higher preference to HTTPS sites over non-secure.

In older days, there was often a performance penalty for HTTPS, but with servers in the last two or three years this is no longer a concern. If you can set up HTTPS for the login, you can certainly afford to run the whole system that way.
