Getting Chrome to accept self-signed localhost certificate

Question

I have created a self-signed SSL certificate for the localhost CN. Firefox accepts this certificate after initially complaining about it, as expected. Chrome and IE, however

Answer 1

Click anywhere on the page and type a BYPASS_SEQUENCE

"thisisunsafe" is a BYPASS_SEQUENCE for Chrome version 65

"badidea" Chrome version 62 - 64.

"danger" used to work in earlier versions of Chrome

You don't need to look for input field, just type it. It feels strange but it is working.

I tried it on Mac High Sierra.

To double check if they changed it again go to Latest chromium Source Code

To look for BYPASS_SEQUENCE, at the moment it looks like that:

var BYPASS_SEQUENCE = window.atob('dGhpc2lzdW5zYWZl');

Now they have it camouflaged, but to see the real BYPASS_SEQUENCE you can run following line in a browser console.

console.log(window.atob('dGhpc2lzdW5zYWZl'));
