If i click on a link and it comes up 'not secure' why is that ? What can I do to make that link secure ? This is happening on the government corona virus link on these pages . Might seem basic to most of you but I am not tec. savvy in the least . TIA

Guess you’re trying to access through an Apple device. Apple and Spanish Healthcare sites are not compatible.

Because the site you are visiting is not secure. OK, that sounds a bit too obvious but website owners have a duty to protect your information. Some do it by their own software, some by outsourcing to other programs.

Now, all it means is that any data or details you enter can be looked at by others. At the beginning of the address you will see HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) or followed by an S for secure.

If the site has somewhere you can enter any personal details but is not secure, you will get that warning which is alerting you to the fact that your information may not be guarded and can be accessed by others.

In other cases, the website has registered itself as secure but the licence has run out and they haven't updated it. Government sites are notorious for this and will, eventually, get round to updating the licence.

If you look at TalkQuesada you will see it starts https: which is good. The coronavirus information in Spain only starts http: which means they haven't protected any information and is, therefore, listed as not secure but doesn't ask you to input any details.

Yo Salud does ask you to input information and their site starts with https meaning any details you input will be encrypted to stop unauthorised access.

Yo Salud is the Torrevieja Health authority area. Don't know if you have one for Orihuela Health Authority but I imagine there would be one.

Hi

Just wondering, you said about accessing coronavirus information then you don’t need to access yosalud.
Certificates are on the GVA salut page

http://coronavirus.san.gva.es/es/web/vacunacion/inicio

But you’ll have the same problem with Apple as it’s also not a secure site.

Not sure that info is correct. Tapped the link above and got straight on site. Use Yo Salud frequently and the Torrevieja Hospital site occasionally. No problems, all using my Apple iPad.

Can you share your secret with me please for both the link above and yosalud.
Get so annoyed having to crank up my laptop for yosalud as it’s the only thing I use it for nowadays.

The link above for the Covid certificate works fine until the download stage. Input your SMS code takes to click on the certificate you want and then nothing downloads. I’ve checked all the obvious places, no download. Can you advise where the downloaded certificate is stored on your iPad please. Downloads are supposed to go to the download folder in Files but there’s nothing there, nor in Adobe.

As for yosalud my iPad/iPhone will not let me input the password in the random sequence stage, so how do I bypass that please.
