Google Search Console sent an email today to a website I have created with Canvas telling me:

To owner of http://www.clients-domain.com,

Starting October 2017, Chrome (version 62) will show a “NOT SECURE” warning when users enter text in a form on an HTTP page, and for all HTTP pages in Incognito mode.

The following URLs on your site include text input fields (such as < input type="text" > or < input type="email" >) that will trigger the new Chrome warning. Review these examples to see where these warnings will appear, so that you can take action to help protect users’ data. This list is not exhaustive.

[List of some links]

Here’s how to fix this problem:

Migrate to HTTPS
To prevent the “Not Secure” notification from appearing when Chrome users visit your site, only collect user input data on pages served using HTTPS.

The instructions from the link (https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6073543?) is quite complex.
Will you be able to provide an easier guide on this issue in your next update?

Thanks as always for the great help.

Hello,

This is really easy to fix. Please follow the Steps below:

  1. Enable a Security Certificate for your Website which automatically makes your Website accessible using https:// .

  2. Change all the http:// references in the Absolute URLs through all the files in Canvas to https:// .

That's it! :)

Hope this Helps!
