The “https not secure” message in Google Chrome appears when a website uses a connection that is not encrypted. This means that the data that is transmitted between your computer and the website could potentially be intercepted by a third party. This message is intended to alert you to the potential security risk and encourage you to use a secure connection.
If you see the “https not secure” message in Google Chrome, there are a few steps you can take to fix it:
- Check the website’s SSL certificate: SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a technology that is used to encrypt data transmitted between a website and a web browser. If the website’s SSL certificate is not valid or has expired, you may see the “https not secure” message. To check the website’s SSL certificate, click on the lock icon next to the website’s URL in the address bar and look for an “Expired” or “Not trusted” message. If you see either of these messages, it is best to avoid using the website or to contact the website’s administrator to report the issue.
- Update your web browser: If you are using an outdated version of Google Chrome, it may not support the latest security protocols. Updating your web browser to the latest version can help fix the “https not secure” message. To update Google Chrome, click on the three dots in the top-right corner of the window, click on “Help”, and then click on “About Google Chrome”. The browser will check for updates and prompt you to install any that are available.
- Clear your cache and cookies: Sometimes the “https not secure” message can be caused by old data that is stored in your web browser’s cache or cookies. Clearing these can help fix the issue. To clear the cache and cookies in Google Chrome, click on the three dots in the top-right corner of the window, click on “Settings”, scroll down and click on “Advanced”, and then click on “Clear browsing data”.
If these steps do not fix the “https not secure” message, it is possible that the website’s server is experiencing an issue or that there is a problem with your internet connection. In these cases, it may be necessary to contact the website’s administrator or your internet service provider for assistance.
