    I want to link through my publications my website and when I use the link this error comes up. What do I do?

    Your connection is not private
    Attackers might be trying to steal your information from **URL removed** (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards).

    Help: N8 - wi-fi security

    No, I am not trying to steal internet from neighbors. If you cannot contribute towards a solution please don't post.



    I can connect to my home network that only requires a password with no problem. I'm trying to access the Wi-fi on my university's campus. We can log into it using student numbers as usernames and then we each have a different password.

    My friends using iPhones and Android phones are connecting with no problems.



    The issue is that I don't know how to set Wi-fi settings to input a username along with the password.

    Will this be fixed in the anniversary update? Edit: Chrome and Firefox not infected. So no worries here*Wink

    I'm really not sure why a 20 year old hack was not fixed in a brand new operating system.

    Isn't this why you can just disable the "Integrated Windows Authentication" option...??

    Integrated Windows Authentication IEInternals

    1. Open Control Panel
    2. Open Internet Properties
    3. Select Advanced tab
    4. Untick "Integrated Windows Authentication"
    5. Click Apply.

    Thanks Dmex for this tip. Problem is, that this comes enabled by default. How many user will know about this?

    So much for windows 10 being secure, not only have they not fixed the issue, that allows a site to steal all your log on information to all your windows devices, but they have created a new additional vulnerable browser that allows it. !!

    I don't get it. 20 years and a new browser later and still no fix. To me It's helps confirm why I do not want MS collecting any data about me.

    When some people suggested that using an online login was a risk, "fan boys" shouted abuse at them.

    LMAO now. *Biggrin

    Indeed.

    Just for completeness, this also applies to other corporations (e.g. Adobe, Apple, Google, Sony, etc.).

    I'm not very smart about these things, but will disabling this have any negative effects on my computer?
