Insecure login (Firefox)

Post by **Sorus** » Sat Jan 28, 2017 8:16 pm

I've been getting this message today:

The owner of kevinswatch.ihugny.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.

I changed my password and I'm using Chrome at the moment. Anyone else having similar issues?

Nothing to worry about. Surprised chrome isn't giving the same error.

It's just because the site is http, and not https, but it's asking for a log-in.

Over the last few days, both Chrome and FF are warning of non-encrypted connections.

Just tell it to allow the exception, all is good.

Don't use HTTPS when connecting to KW. The web site certificate is beyond mere bad. Decent browsers won't have anything to do with it - to them it looks like a drooling wolf wearing sheep-shaped sunglasses.

Good to know. Thanks! I don't usually use https for KW, but Firefox recommended trying.

I think it will now warn whether you try to connect via it or not.

Yes I get the same thing from FF.

Snowball's chance in hell the Watch can become a secure site??

Not that difficult actually. Let's Encrypt provides free SSL certs, so it can be done.

If some Russian hacker posts fake Chronicles comments I'm gonna blame Vain.
