How to Copy & Paste a Secure URL in a Web Browser
A secure website or URL (HTTPS) combines the Hypertext Transfer Protocol with the SSL/TLS protocol to create an encrypted and secure connection on a server and over the web. Secure URLs are often used to provide an added layer of security during payment transactions that occur online and during the uploading of forms and documents that may include private and sensitive data. Documents, emails and websites often include URLs that may not always be clickable. Copy and paste the URL in a web browser to view the intended secure website.
