"We treat your password with the utmost care and security and the second after you entered it it gets encrypted"

This is cool, but the login page isn't https (which will confuse the noobs) and I don't think a paragraph on security is needed. Maybe just some sort of 'lock' graphic and 1 sentence explaining your privacy measures with a link to an expanded description for the paranoid/curious.

Actually I wouldn't be all that happy with my password sitting around on the server for an entire second. In computer time, for want of a better phrase, a second is actually quite a long time. Perhaps switch to 'the instantwe receive it it gets encrypted'.

Having said that I agree you don't really need it on the start page.

I have changed the text - good suggestion and added a read more link instead of the whole blob.
