Only the Owner M@X can deal with this issue. We Admins cannot do anything, sadly. Unhappy

Hi all,

as you may have noticed, every time you log on to PA from Chromium or Firefox, the browser warns you that the site is not secure. This happens because PA still functions on the old HTTP protocol, without encryption. The passwords are sent in clear text to the server and can easily be intercepted. A few more technical details in the post below:

Google and Mozilla have started flagging all websites using the old protocol as insecure a couple of years ago and there are persistent rumors about their browsers will blocking insecure websites altogether in the near future.

Is the admin team working to set up HTTPS for PA? Or is there another plan in place?

Thank you.
