Warning "Unsecured HTTP..." for some users, not for others
When I login to this site, 1Password warns "Unsecured HTTP..." but my colleague gets no warning. What triggers the warning and how come I might get it and someone else doesn't?
Both of us are on Mac.
1Password Version: 6.3.3
Extension Version: ??
OS Version: 10.11.6
Sync Type: Dropbox
Referrer: forum-search:nag on soem sites not on others

Hi @SallyShears,
The most likely explanation is that you've opened that Member Login page with its insecure http://www.solonline.org/login.aspx URL, then see the 1Password warning when filling with a Login item that has the secure https://www.solonline.org/login.aspx URL in its website field. Here's our support article about it:
If you see "unsecured HTTP page" when trying to fill a password
Using Go & Fill with your Login item for that page should prevent the warning. Or opening https://www.solonline.org/login.aspx instead of http://www.solonline.org/login.aspx before filling.
Hope that helps! :)

@sjk, thanks. I can see that now. Yes, I did get an unsecured page, so I am working with the site to figure out how that happened.
Obviously, the site should not be serving up insecure login pages.

Hello @SallyShears,
I would have to agree with you. They will likely argue that the credentials are sent over an https connection at which point I tend to remember the article Your login form posts to HTTPS, but you blew it when you loaded it over HTTP that the passionate Troy Hunt wrote.
At least we were able to explain the message you're seeing so that it all makes sense now :smile: Let us know if you have any other questions about 1Password.

Thanks all. I suspect they have a link to the unsecured login page somewhere on the site. I'll just have to help them find it.
Again, thanks for the help. I'm done with this for now.
