No.

Sounds like a phishing / data collection scam.

thx for all comments so far. any suggestions to make it a yes? what's the main concern to not log in? what if it's from a casual friend, or someone you met at a club? they probably can't or won't tell you a lot about it either.

It needs to be from a trusted source and not some new start up with no history.

And of course the content matter needs to be something good and you need to make it clear that the user will not be spammed nor will they phished.

Why not? As long as you have a secure browser and not an older version of MSIE its not going to be a problem.

And if you are running insecure , well
