https site
I am putting data in a website. The address given starts with https and I have seen that address on the vendor's computer. When I enter that website with my own computer it tells me that my computer isn't secure and doesn't offer me the https portion of the address.
My wifi is secure. What am I missing?

Probably nothing to do with WiFi. I believe it probably is more of an issue with the software on your computer (I'm no expert though).
Is your browser up to date? How about any security software? I'd use google (or your preferred search provider) to search for "[my browser name] https error codes not secure" and look at the discussions/tips.
I just did this with "chrome https error codes not secure" and looks like the responsive sites are pretty good.

Your browser is not sending the encryption that the site is requesting.

HTTPS is just a secure "communications" protocol over a network between two computers. (Typically, client to server) Is your browser up to date? An out of date browser is often the problem when you can't connect VIA HTTPS.

When this happened to me, Google had sent notice to the site that they needed to update their security certificate. I sent the site an email , they verified the Google request and updated the security certificate.

The vendor said to use Chrome which is what I am using. Maybe my version of Chrome is old & moldy.

I had the same msg in a link from a post in the forum. I put up an incognito tab and browsed. Then when done, I closed and reset. I haven't had any problems with any other https sites so I presumed it was the other sites problem.

Time and date must be correct for https. Make sure that is set correctly on your computer.
The specific message you get is important for troubleshooting purposes. Put that in quotes when you search.

Post the exact error message will help get better answer. It could be date/time issues. certificate issues etc
Here's a link for firefox that is for "Your connection is not secure" which may be what you are seeing

The first error message was to the effect that "Your connection is not secure" Now I see a lock with an "x" and a line thru https
I took a look a chrome error messages of this type and learned that it may be Norton Antivirus Online. Chrome suggests I try turning off my antivirus program remembering to turn it back on after testing that solution.

Click on the lock to get more information.
It sounds like the website is presenting an out of date security certificate.
Everything on the page does display, correct?

Yes, I can do what I need to do. The lack of the https status is only mildly a matter of concern.

It's not you, then. That is a guess until you click on the lock and find what is really behind this.
Another frequent cause is that the security certificate does not match the website name.

It's not anything on your end, it is just Chrome telling you it doesn't like something on the site. It sounds like you are getting the result in the 3rd section here:
