URGENT: Microsoft Edge incorrectly flags paytracc.com as typosquatting after multiple reports
Microsoft Edge Website Typo Protection incorrectly flags https://paytracc.com as a possible misspelling of paytrace.com.
Paytracc.com is the legitimate official domain of PayTracc, an independent financial technology product. “PayTracc” is the intentional registered brand spelling and is not impersonating or affiliated with PayTrace.
The warning has continued despite repeated reports through the “Report that this site URL is not a misspelling” option.
Technical verification:
• https://paytracc.com returns HTTP 200 OK.
• http://paytracc.com returns HTTP 301 and redirects to HTTPS.
• A valid TLS certificate and HSTS are enabled.
• Chrome and other browsers do not display this warning.
• The issue is reproducible only in Microsoft Edge Website Typo Protection.
This false positive is discouraging customers from accessing the website. Anyways to resolve this please?
Affected domain: https://paytracc.com
Incorrect suggested domain: paytrace.com

Hello Tec9ja ,
Since your reports through the standard "Report that this site URL is not a misspelling" option haven't resolved it, you can guide affected users to bypass the warning or add an exception locally.
Add to Edge's Allowlist:
For the site in question to open, it is sufficient for clients to select "Don't block this site" once in the warning they see.
for Business or Enterprise Management:
If your organization manages Edge via Group Policy or MDM, you can push an allowlist directly.
- Use the TyposquattingAllowListDomains Policy: Microsoft provides an official policy specifically for this scenario. You can configure this policy to list paytracc.com as a trusted domain, which prevents the typo warning from triggering across all managed devices.

If the solution helped, would you mark it as solved?
