Detailed explanation-1: -A secure URL should begin with “https” rather than “http.” The “s” in “https” stands for secure, which indicates that the site is using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificate.
Detailed explanation-2: -When you click the sign-up button after entering an email and password, the information you entered is first sent as a request to the server* to verify whether your account exists. If it does, then you are redirected to log in, rather than sign up.
Detailed explanation-3: -Use a website safety checker To find out if a link is safe, just copy/paste the URL into the search box and hit Enter. Google Safe Browsing’s URL checker will test the link and report back on the site’s legitimacy and reputation in just seconds. It’s that easy to use Google’s URL scanner.
Detailed explanation-4: -Always look for a https (’s’ stands for secure) in the website address and a padlock on the web browser.
