SSL Secured Login – (ON or OFF) Select ON for enabling secure account login.  Select OFF to disable secure account log in. 

Note: SSL (Secured Socket Layer) is the industry standard security protocol for the transmission of sensitive data. When accepting credit card or other billing information, it is necessary for you to secure the data transmission.
