How to fix the logging in error!

[CampFireSmoke 45]

So I'm relatively new here and had trouble logging in at first, but I found a way to fix the problem for myself and now when I see others are having the same issue I wanna share with you what I did.

 

now I'm not a huge computer expert, but it seems the problem isn't with cache or cookies but with the connection security. so what I did was add the "HTTPS Everywhere" addon on my browser and since then I had no more errors. It basically encrypts your connection for websites that aren't secure (so I actually recommend using it in general).

 

you can add HTTPS Everywhere from the extension store in your browser (if you're on chrome go to https://chrome.google.com/webstore and just type it in the search bar), BUT make sure you enable the "Encrypt All Sites Eligible" option after- (click the puzzle piece icon if you're on chrome)

 

hopefully that'll help until the website is fixed

lmaoo look it up it's a popular addon. it's made in collaboration with Tor which is literally funded by the US government. I'm glad I could help

Thank you <3 Last time I tried logging in I had to use Edge so it wasn't worth the trouble. lol

[plastiscguy 63,549]

Anyone know the reason why it wouldn't let us log on, tho? I'm really curious

[TrashMagiq 60,185]

HTTP; HTTPS where the S stands for Secure. Our browsers don’t want us to share information with a website that is not secure.
 

Eventually a lot of things can lead to causing this error.

Sorry for bumping this thread, but the issue still persists.

Except now we cannot use HTTPS Everywhere as a crutch anymore as the extension was discontinued by Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the original developers, and subsequently delisted from all browser extension stores. I know that some random people reuploaded HTTPS Everywhere to the Chrome Web Store, but I would rather trust the EFF than some stranger on the Internet with snooping around in my browser.

By patching the HTML code of the login form as shown at the bottom of the post (you can do that with your web browser's developer tools; though usually only on a PC) to have the login request be sent via HTTPS, I was able to solve that issue.

However, it is not a good remedy as the change only takes place inside my browser and does not take non-technical users into account (who should not have their cleartext passwords be transmitted over unencrypted HTTP, especially not if they are using a public unsecured Wi-Fi network, just because they have no clue about computers).

Since I am not familiar with the software stack of this forum, I currently do not know how to configure the forum to perform said change server-side, if it can be done at all.

 

SPECIFIC CHANGE:

before:

<form accept-charset="utf-8" method="post" action="http://lanaboards.com/login/" data-controller="core.global.core.login">

[/CODE]

after:

<form accept-charset="utf-8" method="post" action="https://lanaboards.com/login/" data-controller="core.global.core.login">
