"this connection is not private" on iphone

I have the same problem too since yesterday when the phone automatically updated. All my secure settings are now saying not secure. Even my bank! I am using my home wifi which is very secure so its not what others are saying about using a coffee shop wifi. It is definitely a problem with the software update as I had a similar problem a few years ago with my emails after an update!

Apple need to know the problem exists and fix it ASAP

I am just trying to buy something on a website that I have bought from for years. Quit Safari. Turn iMac on & off. No dice. I have emailed the folks at the website. Successfully bought from amazon.com and target.com earlier today.

Having the same issue trying to set up an email on my home printer. These Apple responses to “check with the administrator” are ridiculous. I should have the option to choose an unsecured network if I want.

No. It is NOT secure. The traffic on the network is not encrypted. Requiring a username and password does not make it secure. it's an open network using a captive portal to log in. There is no encryption on the network.

If it is a captive portal, such as used at coffee shops and restaurants, it requires you to to go to a website and click on something saying you agree to terms and conditions or enter a user ID and password.

Once you tap on join network, safari should open the page automatically.

If it is not, you have to try rejoining.

Every new session will require you to go back to the website and agree again.

Avoid using that network, or talk to the network administrator about securing it.

That's because the network you are joining is not secure.

Then talk to the administrator of the network.
