Is the built-in X3 password prompt insecure?
Posted: 21 Oct 2026, 05:22
Hello!
I use X3 for our private family photos. I’ve set up X3 so that a username and password are required to access it.
I’ve noticed that when I open the page (in MS Edge or Vivaldi), the password prompt window appears. That’s normal. But in the address bar at the top, there’s a message saying the page is insecure:
But it is an HTTPS page, and the certificate is valid. The warning only disappears after I enter my username and password.
Is entering the password actually unsafe? Did I configure something incorrectly, or is there another explanation for this behavior?
Thank you very much for X3 and your support!
