Once you are logged in, you will be in a secure area. There are several ways to see if your browser is in a secure mode. The first way is to look at the bottom of your browser. If you see a small picture of a padlock or a key, you are in secure mode. An open padlock, broken key, or no icon at all, indicates that your browser is not in secure mode.

Another way to tell is by looking at the website address in your browser window. Non-secure pages begin with http://. Secure pages begin with https://. The ‘s’ stands for secure. When you logout, your browser will automatically revert to standard mode.

Example:
Non-secure URL: http://www.siliconvalleypower.com
Secure URL: https://www.siliconvalleypower.com/OnlineAccount/Login.asp
