How to whitelist a URL from Typo Protection?

Question

Is there a mechanism to whitelist/allow a URL to bypass the Edge browser TypoSquating protection?

Chrome allows exceptions to be added to a reg key in Software/Policies

Hi @MichaelJohnson-0273,

You must be looking for the policy TyposquattingAllowListDomains. It configures the list of Edge Website Typo Protection trusted domains. This means: Edge Website Typo Protection won't check for potentially malicious typosquatting websites.

Looks like you prefer registry settings. Here's some information you need:

• Path (Mandatory): SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\TyposquattingAllowListDomains
• Path (Recommended): N/A
• Value Name: 1, 2, 3, ...
• Value Type: list of REG_SZ

And example value:

SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\TyposquattingAllowListDomains\1 = "mydomain.com"

SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\TyposquattingAllowListDomains\2 = "myuniversity.edu"
