IT fundamental's question

---

Hello! I'm currently watching "Security Best Practices Part 3" under the IT Fundamentals course and right now they're explaining ways your browser tells you which version of TLS a website is using and whether or not it's the latest secure version, but they keep referencing the green https bar and "secure" text as a sign to look for even though that's been phased out by google and some other browser apps, so how would I go about confirming whether or not my website is secure? does it just stop at the colorless padlock or is it possible to look deeper past that?

p.s. sorry if this seems like a nonsensical question! I'm still pretty new to this and I'm trying my best to understand everything :(

@Precious-Nwaete great question, most browsers will have a lock icon that is a clickable icon, allowing you to view whether the connection is secure and the certificate associated with the HTTP connection. For example here is the lock icon on the ITProTV forums:

Notice the lock in the above image, once clicked you will see the following (Chrome is used in this example):

You can then click on the "Certificate (Valid)" link to view the certificate associated with the secure website:

I hope this helps!

@wes-bryan thank you so much! also if you don't mind one more question, is there a way to check this on ios and android systems too?
