Sign in with Emby Connect IS NOT SECURE

The "Emby Connect" log in page is showing as not secure.  When I tried to see the ssl certificate information, there was nothing to see.

Please, this needs to be fixed asap.  This leave a gigantic hole open for capturing your users log in formation!

This just sounds like a bad idea, it’s supporting people not setting up SSL and being insecure. 

Wouldn’t it be better to just make something like LetsEncrypt a one-click installation rather than risk letting people get snooped?

If all devices accepted letsencrypt certs then yes, that would make sense. But otherwise it just leads to reports of not working, unable to connect, etc.

When the day comes that we know all servers have ssl, then we'll be able to force to hosted web app to https only.

Can they use secure connections first? If the secure connection does not work, the secure connection website will prompt the user to use an available incomplete connection. At least the user has some vigilance.

I pointed that out quite a while ago. 

The question is…. At what point does the connection become encrypted.  Before or after login. 

Today’s best practice says all websites should be using security (https).

if you setup https on your Emby Server, and your server dashboard displays your remote address as https, then that's what Emby apps will use when connecting remotely.
