Insecure login?

[Charlotte-ate-wilbur]

I remember seeing a post in the past about social media accounts being hacked, and couldn't help but notice in both the forum and home sites that the passwords are in fact not secure, according to firefox the security algorithm (whatever that means) is disabled.

I personally have different passwords for everything however I'm not sure I like the idea of logging into an insecure server all the time, can this be fixed, is it something on my end?

If this is something being abused, I would hope something is being done to secure our passwords?

Hope this helps. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/in ... =inproduct

I'm curious about this too.

EDIT: Wait a minute, wasn't this discussed already? Haven't got the topic URL though (and can't be arsed to find it)

I have experienced the same notification while using the Opera browser.

I believe it was only referring to the autofill of the username, though.
I've never let a browser save my password and I wouldn't recommend doing that despite the website.

So the login on the homepage is in fact not encrypted currently.
The reason for this is that we originally chose a provider for the encryption certificate that was never accepted as certificate authority into the major browsers, so using this certificate causes all browsers to show a giant red window showing telling you basically that the page was in fact hacked.

For that reason we didn't activate the encryption on the public pages. By now things have changed and there are things like "Lets encrypt" we could use to encrypt the page. We just haven't got around to do this.
