To enhance system security and performance, user logins only remain active for up to 20 minutes between page requests. For your convenience, we can temporarily save your login information on your computer and automatically reactivate your login for up to 24 hours from your last page request.

 

Because your login information will be stored on the computer's hard drive until you log out (even if you disconnect from the internet, close your browser, or turn off your computer), you should always select the "Exit" button in the upper right corner of the main control panel screen once you have completed your web site administration.

 

WARNING: We do not recommend selecting the "Keep Me Logged In" option if you are using a public or shared computer because forgetting to log out could allow unauthorized persons access to your web site control panel.

Although your username and password are always encrypted during the login process, you now have the option of encrypting all information passed between your computer and our servers while you are working on your web site. Because of the added layer of processing required to encrypt and decrypt data for each request on both the client and the server, you will experience slower response times when using an SSL session; therefore, we recommend using an SSL session only when it is absolutely necessary.

 

NOTE: You do not need to select "Use SSL Session" checkbox for your username and password to be encrypted during login. You should only select "Use SSL Session" checkbox when you plan to send or receive highly sensitive data such as financial information.
