Rene, when I tried Classic login, it took me to orders6 which I had already logged into so it didn't ask for my password again. I can't quit my browser right now because I have way to many windows set up and it's a major pain to recreate. But I went to a new browser window and tried to directly connect to another server and got asked for a password with the padlock still unlocked. But I believe a secure connection is still being used for the password. I believe this because the bookmark I used goes directly to orders8.datek.com. This initiates a connection on an SSL link without the password and fails which causes the request for password. It then tries again on the SSL link with the password and succeeds. The browser doesn't change the padlock until the page comes back successfully. In any case, I believe the passwords are being protected. I'm certain they are if you use a bookmark to orders6 or whichever. I never go through home page login but always use bookmarks. More direct anyway. I don't know if this has convinced you. Just trying to help.
