What does HTTPS mean?

If you see "https," it means your computer is using a secure connection to that website, which keeps hackers from snooping on the data you're sending and receiving. Banks, online stores, social media, email and a growing number of other sites use HTTPS by default. If you're on a site that's asking for sensitive information and you only see "http," or don't see anything before the "www," then leave. You can also force sites that support HTTPS to use it by default with theHTTPS Everywhere browser add-on.
