A new security flaw has popped up in the popular GMail system, but there is an easy fix that will only take a few seconds of your time to fix if you know where to go.

Thanks to Stan Schroeder over at Mashable for pointing this out, it appears that hackers can grab information about your GMail session if you are using an unsecured Wi-Fi connection, but there is a pretty easy fix for this that we will guide you through, and it only takes 3 steps to do it!

The first step is to go to the top right corner of your main GMail inbox, and locate where it says “Settigns” and click on that.

Once on the Settings page, the default tab is “General”, but if by some chance you are in the wrong tab, just click on General in the top of the yellow settings box.

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the General tab and you will see the information in this last picture that says “Browser connection”, you’ll click the circle next to”Always use https”, and then click the “Save Changes” button and… you’re done!

It will only take you three steps, a few seconds, and your connection will be much more secure when using an unknown Wi-Fi connection.
