damo2929 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 when is RMweb going to actually protect it's users by configuring a certificate and moving the site to https:// as the host is https enabled. without a cert the users passwords are at risk and we know the userbase on here are not tech savy and as such will be doing password resue. setting up https takes about 30seconds and certs can be done with lets encrypt for free, which give no reason to have it enabled, it will also prevent the unsecure banner being displayed on firefox and chrome.

If you look around you will find others have made the same point and had an answer. Since very little of the data we provide matters two monkeys' twizzles, some of us are baffled at your interest.

I agree with you Ian and Andy has said when it will happen, but I understand Chrome now flags the site as unsafe and a security risk and I wouldn't be surprised if other followed suit.

RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted August 8, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 8, 2018 It might be of concern if browsers eventually turn to blocking any non-https site (which it looks increasingly like they will). RMweb is not alone in not having set up https, but as has been said it's on the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
