Trying to connect to a site for work but I keep getting a "your connection is not private" screen that won't allow me to bypass it by the usual drop down and continue to site. I 1000% do not care at this point if someone steals all of my information I just want to tell chrome that I accept any risk and want to connect. Wildly Frustrating.

Error says"

[site name] normally uses encryption to protect your information. When Chrome tried to connect to [site name] this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. This may happen when an attacker is trying to pretend to be [site name], or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.

You cannot visit [site name] right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.

There is a way to bypass this error, it's a pretty annoying way but it should work.

Click anywhere in Chrome window where you see the error, and type thisisunsafe (type it out, not Copy/Paste, despite not seeing any feedback while typing) and when done it should refresh and allow you to access the site.

(To note, this bypass-phrase may change in the future. It used to be badidea until the Chrome team silently changed it.)
