How to Fix Chrome Certificate HSTS Issue
If you are encountering an issue with Chrome’s HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) certificate for a specific website, you can follow these steps to resolve it. HSTS is a security feature that enforces HTTPS connections for websites, and sometimes it can lead to certificate errors. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to fix it:
-
Open Google Chrome and go to the address bar.
-
Type the following URL and press Enter:
chrome://net-internals/#hsts -
In the “Delete domain” section, you will see a text field.
-
Type the domain name of the website for which you are encountering the HSTS issue into the text field. For example, if you are having problems with “example.com,” type “example.com” (without quotes).
-
After typing the domain name, click the “Delete” button. This action will remove the HSTS settings for the specified domain.
-
Now, in the “Query domain” section, you will find another text field.
-
Type the same domain name that you just removed in the previous step into this text field.
-
After typing the domain name, click the “Query” button.
-
If the HSTS settings have been successfully removed, your response should be “Not found.” This indicates that the HSTS entry for the domain has been deleted, and Chrome will no longer enforce HTTPS for that website.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the Chrome Certificate HSTS issue for the specific website you are experiencing problems with. Please note that this will only affect the HSTS settings for that particular domain and will not impact other websites’ security settings.
