Looking at the Chrome developer security tools it says the following: enter image description here

Mamp hasn't been great about fixing this bug, they need to generate more information in the SSL Cert. To fix it, you'll need to create a conf file and run some terminal commands. this has been working for me

FIRST: The conf file sample.local.conf replace sammple.local with your local site url

[ req ]
default_bits       = 4096
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
req_extensions     = req_ext

[ req_distinguished_name ]
countryName                 = Country Name (2 letter code)
countryName_default         = US
stateOrProvinceName         = State or Province Name (full name)
stateOrProvinceName_default = NEW YORK
localityName                = Locality Name (eg, city)
localityName_default        = NEW YORK
organizationName            = Organization Name (eg, company)
organizationName_default    = SAMPLE
commonName                  = Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name)
commonName_max              = 64
commonName_default          = sample.local

[ req_ext ]
subjectAltName = @alt_names

[alt_names]
DNS.1   = sample.local

first make the .KEY 

openssl genrsa -out sample.local.key 4096

make the .CSR

openssl req -new -sha256 \
   -out sample.local.csr \
   -key sample.local.key \
   -config sample.local.conf

then

openssl req -text -noout -in sample.local.csr

create the .CRT

openssl x509 -req \
    -days 3650 \
    -in sample.local.csr \
    -signkey sample.local.key \
    -out sample.local.crt \
    -extensions req_ext \
    -extfile sample.local.conf

Then, on a mac, instead of going through the keychain, you can run the following command in terminal

sudo security add-trusted-cert -d -r trustRoot -k /Library/Keychains/System.keychain sample.local.crt
