Security Message at Login

  • I probably missed some announcement awhile ago, so this question may be redundant to some. I keep getting a message when I am trying to log into my sites that “this connection is not secure.” It is very annoying and I can’t get rid of it. Since it is obviously something that WP implemented that I was not aware of, I’m not even sure what it means. And understanding all the ramifications of hacking, etc. is way above my knowledge level. Nobody needs to access my sites but me. I really don’t want another set of usernames and passwords. I’m getting too old to begin having to make things more complicated than I need. Can someone tell me how to fix this problem. What do I need to make these annoying warnings go away? Thank you anyone for your help.

  • This is a new “feature” implemented recently in Firefox. The box displays whenever there is form input on a non secure (http rather than https) webpage. If you access your wordpress via https://… (if possible), the error should go away.
    Hope this helps,

    What if you do not have a “secure” website. For the kind of site I have, there is no reason for me to make it “secure.” Is there a way to make the warnings go away – not appear at all?
