Evolving Chrome's security indicators
Thursday, May 17, 2018
Previously, we posted
a proposal
to mark all HTTP pages as definitively “not secure” and remove secure indicators for HTTPS pages. HTTPS usage on the web has
taken off
as we’ve evolved Chrome security indicators. Later this year, we’ll be taking several more steps along this path.
Users should expect that the web is safe by default, and they’ll be warned when there’s an issue. Since we’ll soon
start marking
all HTTP pages as “not secure”, we’ll step towards removing Chrome’s positive security indicators so that the default unmarked state is secure. Chrome will roll this out over time, starting by removing the “Secure” wording and HTTPS scheme in September 2018 (Chrome 69).
Chrome treatment for HTTPS pages
Previously, HTTP usage was too high to mark all HTTP pages with a strong red warning, but in October 2018 (Chrome 70), we’ll start showing the red “not secure” warning when users enter data on HTTP pages.
Chrome 70 treatment for HTTP pages with user input
We hope these changes continue to pave the way for a web that’s easy to use safely, by default. HTTPS is cheaper and easier than ever before, and unlocks powerful capabilities -- so don’t wait to migrate to HTTPS! Check out our
set-up guides
to get started.
