The warning (which is defined as a language string) is displayed if the Account Registration page is not encrypted. Note that, even if the site supports encryption, if the site does not force encryption, the Account Registration page might be unencrypted.

$text['rrnaw-warning'] = "This registration form <b>is not securely encrypted</b>, so don't use a password that you use anywhere else.";
