Secure browser

In our organisation we connect to Salesforce.com via a direct shortcut on our desktop: http://www.salesforce.com/login.jsp?un=xxx&pw=xxx so our representatives don't have to enter their password manually each time again.

 

We've been using this method for a couple of weeks now without any problems. Since this morning everybody gets the following message when trying to login:

 

You are required to use a secure browser to connect to salesforce.com.
Please connect securely to salesforce.com using a browser that supports 128-bit encryption

When clicking the link we are prompted with a screen to fill in our username+password whereafter we are redirected to our Salesforce-homepage. We've never had this message before. All of our users are using IE 7 or 8.

 

Anyone knows why we are getting this message all of a sudden and what we can do to prevent this?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Your link is HTTP, someone turned on the "Require HTTPS" flag in the security settings for your organization. As you're not using HTTPS you get the error message. You can update your shortcut to use HTTPS (or look at more secure ways of managing users credentials, having credentials in plain text is a security risk).

Your example doesn't have httpS,

 

but try this:

 

https://login.salesforce.com/?un=XXXX&pw=XXXX
