Problems to Log In on Android Samsung via Chrome

Question

Hi friends,

Until two weeks ago, I had no problem to log in on GMAT Club via my phone, Samsung android via Google Chrome browser.

However, since then I constantly receive error logs and warnings from Google Chrome browser about GMAT Club website as being insecure, attacked, etc.

Is this just me, or others are having same problem ?

Is there anything I can do, in setting to bypass this ?

I have taken screen shots for you to see it, first hand.

This is weird. Try clearing your cache.

We renewed our SSL certificate a few weeks ago for another year and it’s possible your phone is trying to find the old one which has been replaced by a new one.

Hello bb , I tried clearing cache, in fact I went even step further and cleared cache for all apps on phone and I still get the same error message. Then I noticed that I have many open tabs on Chrome, some of them opened on GMAT Club pages earlier, so I closed them also and tried again new GMAT Club one, same problem shows up again. I have restarted the phone, just in case, also nothing. If I try to use Samsung built in browser (that I really don't like

) then I get this warning below. Moreover bb, I have installed new GMAT Club Forum app and cannot get log in also. Old one is uninstalled from my phone.

Thank you for posting this. I am forwarding to the Tech team to see if they can figure it out. Meanwhile, here is what I found: https://www.thesslstore.com/blog/fix-ss ... id-phones/

and: https://www.ssl2buy.com/wiki/how-to-fix ... roid-phone

(it seems date/time that is incorrect often causes this)

Follow up bb , 1.) Correct the Date and Time on your Android Device Of course my time and date are proper, I use phone every day anyways and rely on that info to be accurate

For fun I tried to change date format, but of course problem remains. My settings already were set on Automatic date and time and Automatic time zone. 2.) Clear Browsing Data on Chrome I tried this time to clear all in Chrome browser (instead of Chrome app cache from phone settings) including browsing history, cookies and site data and cached images and files, and what happened was that first I got scripted version of gmatclub.com, then after reload it went to previous mentioned warning. 3.) Change WiFi Connection I tried to change from my home Wi Fi connection which uses WPA/WPA2 PSK security protocol to public Wi Fi which uses 802.1x EAP protocol, but result was the same. 4.) Temporarily Disable Antivirus I actually did not had any antivirus installed prior to this, since I was unhappy with those android antivirus/cleaner apps and constant notifications. However, while we talked about this, I figure out maybe I should try to clean phone with app and installed Hi Security. https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... wifi&hl=en After all possible cleaning, nothing changed in terms of site login/reaching issue. If you use or recommend some other app/antivirus/cleaner I will be happy to try

I am not much of a fan of this one but it had one of the best rating there, so I went on. 5.) Reset your Android Device/Factory Data Reset This is the nuclear option indeed, I would rather avoid it.
