Definitely not since we've learned that (some) webpages send each keystroke while on the login page.

  What is this referring to?

    I believe this is referring to the ebay password submission that was on the front-page yesterday. The summary was that Ebay seemed to be sending each typed character of the password field back home.

      Reminds me of the Petraeus scandal where they communicated via unsent Gmail drafts in a shared account. EDIT: From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petraeus_scandal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petraeus_scandal Petraeus and Broadwell used fake names to create free webmail accounts exchanging messages without encryption tools. They would share an email account, with one saving a message in the drafts folder and the other deleting it after reading it.

      Wasn't that story thoroughly debunked? The data flows didn't support it, and Facebook denied it.
