Beer smith 2 not logging into cloud
- Thread starter bowtie

Did you ever get help?
I announced back in January or 2023 that we planned to perform a significant security upgrade at BeerSmithRecipes.com which would affect BeerSmith 2 user cloud access.

The reason for the upgrade was very simple. BeerSmith 2, which was originally developed back in the 2011-2013 timeframe used an unencrypted connection to the server which meant that sensitive data could be easily compromised. BeerSmith 3 uses a secure connection and it was launched in 2018, and we added the web based version for most BeerSmith users in 2021.
While I kept this vulnerability open as long as possible (almost 5 years), we were starting to see accounts compromised so I had to make the difficult decision to move completely over to a secure connection for cloud and web access.
So while you can still build and work with local data in BeerSmith 2, you will need to upgrade to BeerSmith 3 to directly access the cloud storage and cloud search options from within the program.
