Celise Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 i get that all the time from this website on firefox. "connection is not secure" in red lettering. the only part that is secure is logging in and access to your own account. it seems some parts of the website are secured and other parts aren't.

OwenBrooks Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Account.swtor.com section will be 100% secure, the forum section uses cookies to allow you to post mainly but it is possible to be secure in chrome in the forums at times after logging into the account section, here is a screenshot. https://imgur.com/a/CiFTkNA make sure your using https://www.swtor.com and it will be using a digicert sha2 certificate issued to account.swtor.com.

JennyFlynn Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The forums have never been secure for me but it used to show through a missing or greyed out padlock I think. Now it's a greyed "Not secure" and once I hit "reply" and start typing a response, the grey "not secure" turns red and I get this triangle with an exclamation mark. That last one is pretty recent, few weeks, though I saw a news article somewhere about additional markers/visibility of warnings for not secure websites or something so that might be why.

Yeah, I know Chrome has been much more communicative about this sort of thing--perhaps other browsers too--and seems to step it up when you're trying to input anything on those pages. Nothing has changed on the website, it just gets pointed out to users now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthSpuds Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) So I am logged in obviously but Chrome is saying this site is not secure. Anyone else or any ideas? Recent updates to Chrome now mean that Sites whose security certificates were validated by Symantec are no longer considered secure. In essence Chrome no longer trusts Symantec security validation. I've had the same issue at work, and have had to contact our host to apply for non-Symantec security certificates. There is no permanent fix that end-users can implement other that swapping to a browser that still trusts Symantec.

There's lots of hosting companies still using Symantec SSL Certs. All The Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
