This project is discontinued. NYU:
Beginning the evening of Thursday, October 23 (ET), this NYU login screen will have a new look and login process.
which will likely use the Microsoft domain name.
Also, I've started to use a different, interesting trick to verify the login page without having to look at the address bar, but I'd like to keep it to myself for now ;-)
You don't want to accidentally type your NYU password into an immitation web page. However, check the address bar every time you log in? Too much strain on your eyes. Let this extension check that for you!
When the URL is "https://shibboleth.nyu.edu/", it shows a "Safe" pop up message. When the URL is similar but not identical, we suspect a spoof, thus showing a warning pop up.
Do: allow notification!
Never: type in NYU password when you don't see a "Safe" pop up!

I don't upload anything out of your machine. Even on your machine, I only keep two variables (just to know when this extension pushed the last notification).
