Change your FR password frequently and DO NOT use the same password you’ve used elsewhere. The FR login page is not secure and your password is passed in cleartext. Anyone who sniffs the traffic could log in as you and do whatever they want.

SHA 256 recently implemented. Change your bookmark to HTTPS rather than HTTP. It is no longer clear text.

Anyone who sniffs the traffic could log in as you and do whatever they want. Geez, all these years, and it didn't register that the login page was insecure. Of course my FR password is completely unique, but my browser saves it, so I don't see the login page except on the rare occasions when I change to a new device... never thought about it (and ain't that embarrassing...). Thanks, rarestia!
