Microsoft Edge incorrectly flags legitimate domain --PII REMOVED-- as a possible typo

Hello,

Microsoft Edge is incorrectly displaying a Website Typo Protection warning when accessing the legitimate domain:

--PII REMOVED--

The domain name is correct and is the official domain intended to be accessed. It is not a typographical error, a lookalike domain, or a malicious website.

When accessing the domain, Microsoft Edge displays the message:

"Você pode ter digitado incorretamente --PII REMOVED--"

The browser suggests that the user may have intended to visit another domain and provides the option to report that the URL does not contain spelling mistakes.

I have already used the "Informar que o URL deste site não contém erros ortográficos" option provided by Microsoft Edge. However, the warning is still being displayed.

This appears to be a false positive from the Website Typo Protection feature and may confuse users or discourage them from accessing the legitimate website.

Could Microsoft please investigate why --PII REMOVED-- is being incorrectly classified as a possible typo and update the relevant Website Typo Protection data or classification?

Environment:

  • Browser: Microsoft Edge
  • Issue: False positive Website Typo Protection / typosquatting warning
  • Affected domain: --PII REMOVED--
  • Correct URL: --PII REMOVED--
  • The domain is legitimate and correctly spelled.

A screenshot of the warning is attached for reference.

Thank you.

    Hi Vinícius Diniz,

    Please note that our Microsoft Q&A forum is a public platform, and we will modify your response/ question to hide your personal information in the description. Kindly ensure that you hide any personal or organizational information the next time you post an error or other details to protect personal data.

    I really wish I could assist you directly on this issue. However, the behavior you're experiencing is tied to back‑end systems and service functionality, and unfortunately, we don't have the authority or access required to investigate or make changes at that level.

    Please note that this is a user-to-user support forum. Moderators, contributors including external Microsoft employees cannot directly intervene in Microsoft product features or access back-end systems. Our role is limited to providing technical guidance on reported issues, requests, or ideas.

    Thank you for reporting the issue and for confirming that the URL does not contain any spelling errors. However, this process may take some time, as the back-end support team will need to investigate the issue and make any necessary changes.

    We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.
