[Bug 1489643] Re: Paypal login cannot be assured to be from paypal
I think this is a valid concern.
Anyway, the info shown by the padlock bubble should be the same as what
the browser shows when visiting the same page. Would showing extra info
there provide more assurance?
Perhaps opening the browser instead to complete the payment is a better
solution?

Paypal login cannot be assured to be from paypal

Bug description:
When paying for an app with Paypal, the Paypal login screen is
presented in an Ubuntu wrapper. There is no indication on this page
that I'm actually looking at paypal.com rather than being phished or
that some bad DNS has pointed me to a wrong site. The padlock in the
top corner doesn't indicate anything I'm inclined to believe -- is it
showing that the connection is https? Has it verified that I'm really
talking to Paypal? How can I know that? This is encouraging people to
type their Paypal password into phishing sites. The previous step in
the purchase process, where I'm choosing which payment system to use,
also displays a padlock, and that hasn't connected to any payment site
at all.
