having problems with admin login page

I am using Backlight + Pages 123 Release 3, installed on Bluehost. I am having two problems with my Backlight admin login page.

** First problem: Firefox and Chrome both say that the connection to My Admin login page is not secure. Apparently my username and password are not being encrypted as they are sent. Not sure how to fix this.

** Second problem. When viewing my the Admin login page in Chrome (Version 63.0.3239.108, 64-bit), it is quite difficult to position the cursor so that it switches from a "pointing hand" cursor to a "vertical line" cursor, so that I can enter the username and password. Also, once I enter the username and password, I can submit them successfully only by using the Enter key. The login button itself won't log me in. (This second set of issues occurs only in Chrome, not in Firefox.)

I tried to resolve the issues by doing a clean install of Backlight + Pages, but that didn't fix the problems. For now, I have left username and password at their defaults -- admin and ttg8888 -- in case anyone needs to have a look at the site. The admin page is at wedelberg.net/photos/backlight.

I'm sure I am overlooking something. I tried searching for a solution in the forum, but no luck so far. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

Re: having problems with admin login page

When I try to access your site via https it says your certificate isn’t trusted. You can get a free one from letsencrypt.

Re: having problems with admin login page

I'm using the same version of Chrome on Windows. No problem accessing your login page and placing the cursor. And no problem logging in.
I'm accessing at: http://wedelberg.net/photos/backlight/admin/?a=login  (no https)

Re: having problems with admin login page

Charlie, thanks for the suggestion about letsencrypt. This was quite useful.

And Rod thanks for checking cursor placement on my admin login page (under Chrome). I'm embarrassed to say that I should have tried rebooting my system before putting that issue to the forum. Rebooting solved it.
