Some sites use two-factor authentication to verify the user's identity. It is a major inconvenience.

Thank you for the answers

I did not think it was anything major, but wasn´t sure.

I'm glad you spoke up, because I've been having the same problem both from my Chromebook and my phone but was able to browse other sites without issue. Didn't know if my account had been hacked or if it was LHC in general, so thanks.

I didn't check on my phone, but I have a Chromebook, too (from Lenovo that I got as a Christmas present when the pandemic first hit, since my parents didn't want me sitting by a public computer just after surviving breast cancer). I kind of figured it was something to do with the site, since I've seen this warning before on other sites (though it usually disappears in a day or so).

Just chiming in that I have had the same issue on Chrome. Here is what it looks like to me right now:

I've been getting the same message it's why I haven't been around much I hope it gets fixed soon activity has drastically stopped since

It's just an expired certificate. You can get in (I'm on Firefox on a laptop) by ignoring the flaming warnings

Thank you mods etc. for keeping this place running. A little tech burp every now and then is expected and understood.

Yup, I've got the warnings too, it kept me off for a couple days, and then I was like it's just LHC, there's nothing problematic with it. I'm glad to see it's not just an issue in my end.

Just got that same warning in Chrome. Any eta on if that's going to be remedied? Even though it's not like we're buying and selling anything here or anything.
