If the login form is itself protected by https, then the bar for a phish is raised to getting a certificate for that domain. With a plain text login page, the bar for attacking is much lower.
No, it isn't. You need to realise no-one cares about certificates. No-one cares. Nobody. ... No-one ! And trying to _make_ them care (via TrustBar and others) doesn't seem like a great idea to me; as their trust in a system like that can be exploited also. -- Michael
