Windows 10: Security message

I got this message today, is this genuine?




:)

 

security code for message

AFAIK, no. but you can set a system-wide security code that needs to be entered whenever you unlock your phone etc.

 

C7 messaging security

Not messaging specifically. You should be able to SSL so that the transmission is secure. Then you will need to set PIn code and automatic lock for the device so that someone can't access your phone with out the PIN.



PIN settings are in settings -> phone -> phone management -> Phone and SIM card



Set the "Phone autolock period" and "Lock Code", then your messaging will be more secure than without.

 

Yes, it's genuine - in the sense that Edge is reporting that you are trying to access a private server that requires a username and password to gain entry. All my browsers - Edge, IE and Firefox show the same message for that server.


The question is why are you trying to access one of Acer's private servers? Do you have a username and password for Acer?

 

Thank you Bree for the confirmation, I was just browsing the forum and suddenly this message appeared, yes I do have username and PW.

 

I think what Bree is trying to say is that the URL you've accessed has been set up as a HTAccess protected directory. It means that Acer administrators (or rather the webmaster) has set up username and password (protected accesss) for that directory and all files and sub-directory within it. This means that without the user and password for that specific directory, you cannot access it.

If you have a customer account (support or otherwise) and a forum account, neither of these accounts will give you access to that directory as it is protected for private use only.

 

Thanks, I have contacted the forum Admin, I am able to browse the forum and communicate but the popup keep annoying me.
