Insecure password warning in Firefox
Firefox will display a lock icon
with red strike-through in the
address bar when a login page you’re viewing does not have a secure connection.
This is to inform you that if you enter your password it could be stolen by
eavesdroppers and attackers.
Starting in Firefox version
52, you will also see a warning message when you click inside the login box to
enter a username or password.
Note: When you start typing in your login information, the
warning message can obscure the password entry box. You can press the Enter key
after you type in your username (or click outside of the password area) to
dismiss the warning.
What can I do if a login page is insecure?
If a login page for your favorite
site is insecure, you can try and see if a secure version of the page exists by
typing https:// before the url in the location bar. You can also try to
contact the web administrator for the site and ask them to secure their
connection.
Not recommended: You can also continue to log in to the website even if the
connection is insecure, but do so at your own risk. If you do go this route,
try to use a unique password or a password that you don’t also use for other
important sites.
About insecure pages
Pages that need to transmit private
information, such as credit cards, personal information and passwords, need to
have a secure connection to help prevent attackers from stealing your
information. (Tip: A secure connection will have "HTTPS" in the address bar, along with
a green lock icon.)
Pages that don’t transmit any
private information can have an unencrypted connection (HTTP). It is not
advised to enter private information, such as passwords, on a web page that
shows HTTP in the address bar. The information you enter can be stolen
over this insecure connection.
