The security "golden lock icon" can no longer be seen. I want it back.

Prior to FF4 installation, when I entered a secure site to make payments or purchases, a small icon (a gold lock) appeared and I was reassured that my info was secure.
It is no longer there and I do not feel comfortable in proceeding.
Is there anyway I can get it back or, at least, an acceptable alternative ???

It's just a pity that more effort wasn't made when FF4 was launched to inform people of such a radical change. It is far from intuitive, and the advice from most providers of secure services is to "look out for the padlock". i.e. it is considered to be an industry-wide standard.

  • HT5312 My recovery email is no longer in use, as it hasn't been used for sometime, and now seems to have 'expired', and I do not even recall being asked the security questions,so I can no longer download certain games. Please help.

    I cannot download certain games because I do not recall the answers to my security questions when it asks if I am 17 years or older. In fact, I do not even recall being asked these security questions.
    I tried to guess logical answers but now my iPad is threatening to lock me out. My second email is no longer in use as it has not been used for years and has seemingly expired.
    Can you please help?

    If you don't have access to your rescue email account, or you don't have one on your account (an alternate/secondary email address is a different setting/address), then you will need contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset (you won't be able to change/add a rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions)
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to update/add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps.  As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone.  Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem.  Specifically, the icons don't wiggle anymore.

    Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps.  As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone.  Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem.  Specifically, when I double-click the start button, my open app icons display.  But when I hold my finger on an icon, the apps do not wiggle and display an "x" to close.  Any advice... thanks?!

    This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password.  Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
    If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal.  When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
    resetpassword
    and press Enter.  When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account.  Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save.  Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
    Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
    And you have a new password for your account.

    You make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and get it serviced/replaced. You broke it. If you can't even force a reboot, there's nothing much more you can do.

    Hi Veli,
    Please check the security token timeout value and it is set to 1440 as expected by default. You can check via running the command:
    stsadm -o getproperty -pn token-timeout
    Then check the OOB recycle times of the probkematic web application pool, and add daily recycle times for the problematic web application pool. You can do as the article:

  • The context has expired and can no longer be used

    I am running across a repeatable error when accessing a specific Site Collection. EVERY TIME the SC is loaded we receive the error 'The context has expired and can no longer be used'.
    I have already validated the SharePoint servers' time zones are all the same and match the web application(s), as well as set the 'Web
    page Security validation' to "Off".
    What else could I be missing? Could this have anything to do with Distributed Cache?

    Hi,
    We just began to have the same error. The servers are also correctly set for the timezone (UTC) as well as the Web Applications.
    The error happens for every site collections, there isn't a specific site where I'm able to reproduce the issue.

  • The context has expired and can no longer be used. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80090317)

    We have a problem with our wiki site collection. Once a day (and sometimes more), we get the following error message :
    The context has expired and can no longer be used. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80090317)
    This message is displayed to everyone, and will stay there for an hour or so before the collection is back to life.
    Doing an iisreset would get the site working but that will last for a day at the most.
    This is what we checked and tried so far :
    1. Our time zones are set and are correct.
    2. Changing the timeout or disabling the web page security validation (followed by an iisreset) didn't work.
    3. All server use the same NTP server for time sync (and they are indeed in sync).
    4. It is happening only on the wiki collection, not the other collections.
    5. We are unable to reproduce the behavior on the staging servers.
    Some particularities :
    1. Regional settings are set to French (Canada)
    2. We have 500+ wiki pages in the site collection
    3. We require page check-out / check-in for editing. Tried without, same problem.
    Any ideas as to what should we try next ?
    Regards,
    homerggg

    Hi,
    I don't think we have changed them from the default, a quick look shows ours are set to:
    Token-timeout = 24hrs
    FormsTokenLifetime = 10hrs
    WindowsTokenLifetime = 10hrs
    LogonTokenCacheExpirationWindow = 10m

  • The context has expired and can no longer be used errors making farm unusable

    There are a couple of other posts on this forum about the message "The context has expired and can no longer be used" but they all suggest something related to time and time zone differences. This is not the case in my farm and I have disabled
    the security checking of requests on my web applications. Hopefully someone at Microsoft is very aware of this and is working to resolve it because my farm and many others are unusable like this.
    I have dug through all of the ULS errors when it happens and there is nothing useful. It barely even registers as a message although, I have not turned on verbose logging, which I am about to try. I have SP 1 installed. Just to be clear, this is happening
    on SharePoint 2013 Enterprise.
    I have been fighting this for a month. I can add a few things about the farm I am trying to fix:
    1. It was a WSS 3.0 farm that when through a 2007-2010-2013 migration in short order. 
    2. I believe it is under-powered on the hardware side. All VMs on a host shared with 40 other VMs, some fairly busy. Here's the virtual farm breakdown:
      -1 WFE with 12GB RAM and 2 cores
      -3 app servers with similar resources
      -No paging file on C: on any VM. This is a decision by sysadmin. Paging on D: is system managed. Probably irrelevant.
    3. Rapidly clicking from link to link seems to bring on the failure much sooner.
    Any suggestions even about how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated.

    Ultimately, I think it is a time sync issue across the farm. We still have request management off on all boxes because I cannot get the admins to resolve this issue but, in my lab environment I ran into a similar thing.
    I may turn RM back on later to see if it comes back but here's what I think happens: In production we have 2 ESXi hosts and our SP environment is all AD (of course). The clocks are all out of sync, sometimes beyond 5 minutes. (The time sync for AD is something
    I believe a lot of admins don't understand when running virtual.)
    If you allow ESXi to try to sync the time for all guests you run into problems. Maybe they are more pronounced with SharePoint. Anyway, VMware and AD start fighting over the time (check your event logs) and, for us, the clocks across the domain get out of
    sync beyond the 5 minute allowable window.
    I recommend disabling time sync from host to guest and do what MS recommends: make your domain controller the master time server and configure it to get its time from a reliable source (which can be a single hardware host over NTP). Make other domain controllers
    sync from the PDC. The other windows machines will all sync to the domain when they log in. This will prevent SharePoint from issuing tokens from one machine that are out of sync time-wise with the other machines and thus throwing the "Context has expired
    and can no longer be used" errors.
    Note that disabling host to guest time sync is not as simple as just clearing / un-checking the box in the VSphere client. That doesn't do it. You will need to Google for the 6 or so custom properties you must add to each guest to prevent VMWare from re-synchronizing
    after certain hardware events.

  • The Context has expired and can no longer be used error

    Hello All,
    I am getting ‘The context has expired and can no longer be used.’ error.
    The last thing that was modified on the farm was Distributed Cache Service.
    We stopped it on the application server and only have it run on the two WFE’s servers.
    Also the cache size was changed to 2048MB.
    Is it possible that this change is causing the error?
    We don’t have ‘Default Time Zone’ selected for the web application.
    But we never saw this error till now.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Zabcia

    Hi Zabcia,
    Thanks for posting this issue,
    following could be the reason of raising this issue
    1. Security context of your session might be expired
    2. Somebody/you might have change the data time of your server.
    you can follow below mentioned steps to fix this issue
    Just change/update the Date/Time in the SharePoint server
    Increase the Security context in SharePoint central admin. This can be done by following the below steps:
    Go to central admin 
    Go to "Application management section" Go to "Web Application General Settings" 
    Go to "Web page Security validation" section & increase the timeout field. Or, you can simply disable this option.
    I hope this is helpful to you, mark it as Helpful.
