When you log into a Rapport-protected website, Rapport identifies that you are submitting a password and displays this dialog. This dialog is displayed the first time that you log into each protected website after the installation of Rapport.
Rapport includes a mechanism to protect your passwords against phishing attacks. In a phishing attack, you submit your login information to a fraudulent website that looks exactly like the real website. The attacker builds a copy of the real website and then lures you into this fraudulent website usually by sending you an email on behalf of the real website with a link to the fraudulent website. It is easy to get confused and to believe that the fraudulent website is real. When you try to log into the fraudulent website, the attacker grabs your login information and can now log into the real website on your behalf.
To protect you against phishing attacks, Rapport learns your password when you log into the real website. It then presents this dialog to let you know that it has learned your password and that it has started to protect it.
To allow Rapport to learn and protect your password:
• Click Yes. Rapport starts monitoring the usage of this password. Each time you enter this password or text that matches this password into a different website, Rapport will present a warning to let you know that you are using the password in a different website. If you are under a phishing attack and access a fraudulent website, the moment you type your password Rapport stops and warns you. At this point you can understand that you are not in the real website and can instruct Rapport not to send your password to this website.

If you do not want Rapport to protect your password::
• Click No.
• If you also want to prevent Rapport from protecting any other password you use on other protected websites, select the Turn this feature off checkbox.
