More Gmail Security Tips
The Gmail blog today posted another security-related article as part of National Cyber Security Awareness Month. Of the 5 security tips in their Gmail account security tips the only one that causes me any pause is tip 3, Enable "Always use HTTPS." Any of my friends would tell you that I'm a "Google Freak" and this blog will backs that up pretty well.
Here's my issue with the Enable "Always use HTTPS" feature, just take a trip to Gmail Help's "Enabling the HTTPS setting" and read the yellow warning box at top. Call me spoiled, but I don't want any problems with Gmail Notifier (patch available here), Gmail for Mobile application (if you have a new enough version a workaround is posted here, at the cost of speed), or my Google Toolbar (a minor issue you can read about here).
With that one exception I heartily recommend the security tips, and in case you missed the link, you should read Gmail account security tips for all 5 tips!

I have tried deleting my password, saving the page, and still the password appears, allowing me to log in, despite whether I'm using this computer or not. Please allow me to have to sign in every time. This password-saving feature risks my security. Thank you.
@edinlocker, as an independent blogger I can't access your Gmail account, but I think I can help. Try this suggestion from Gmail help: My username and password are saved on the login page
If that doesn't help, please post again and I'll try again.
