PS.2 Verify Secure Websites
Identify secure websites and transactions
In My Life
I can look for signs of a secure website such as URLs that begin with "https://" and have the lock icon in the address bar.
In My Work
I can recognize a browser's security indicators before entering sensitive information.
In My Education
I can click the icons (e.g., padlock, options menu) in the address bar to see details about a secure website's security certificate.
As a Teacher/Trainer
I can verify secure websites I share with my learners by always checking for "https://" in the URL and looking for the secure icon in the address bar.
