You might see this warning when you visit a site that has you connected to with an HTTPS connection: This site is using outdated security settings that may prevent future versions of Chrome from being able to safely access it.
This alert/error means that the website is using an old security algorithm such as SHA-1 (as perfectly explained by Eric Mill in this blogpost), which is potentially no longer safe. Google is actually trying to kill SHA-1 on the web, as explained in their blogpost on “Gradually sunsetting SHA-1”
Security warning Google Chrome
By 2017, the Google Chrome browser will even show a red warning for websites that use the SHA-1 algorithm for their certificate.
Test your SSL certificate at SSLLabs. This test will give you plenty of details about your certificate and what you can do to improve its security.
Thank you. I was wondering why this alert is displayed on my website and when those future versions of Chrome would be released.
Thank you. You provided all the information and related articles.
Many thanks! Your post saved my day!
