How to Disable the Insecure Login Warning in Firefox
Since it repeatedly annoys me to great effect, this is a reminder to myself as well as anyone looking to do the same. While locally developing web content, logging in to a CMS backend, you may have experienced this overlay:
This connection is not secure, Logins entered here could be compromised.
It won’t go away until clicked upon, which opens a website with further information. Useful for end users, frustrating for developers.
- Open
about:config
in Firefox. - Search for key
security.insecure_password.ui.enabled
. - Double-click the found entry and set to
false
.
