SSL is a protocol that provides a secure channel between two computers over the Internet and it is now possible for us to install free LetsEncrypt SSL certificates on your myAccount customer care account page.
The primary reason why SSL is used is to keep sensitive information sent across the Internet encrypted so that only the intended recipient can access it. This is important because the information you send on the Internet is passed from computer to computer to get to your ACR server.
What does it look like and will it affect your customer’s experience?
No. There is no difference in how the website is displayed or how the customer accesses their account. What the customer may notice is the “padlock” in the address bar indicating that the website they’re visiting is now secured.
Currently, myAccount pages use the unsecured HTTP URLs which begin with “http://”. After the SSL certificate is installed, myAccount pages will use the secure HTTPS URLs beginning with “https://” instead.
What is myAccount?
myAccount is a self-service portal that your customers can access their account details, their invoices, their statements, their account balances, their payment history via a web-based security login.
