Google Chrome: Incorrect certificate for host
Question by Jonas100 | 2016-10-12 at 23:22
When I tried to sign in my Google Account using Google Chrome today, suddenly the following error appeared:
Incorrect certificate for host The server presented a certificate that doesn't match built-in expectations. These expectations are included for certain, high-security websites in order to protect you. Error 150 (net::ERR_SSL_PINNED_KEY_NOT_IN_CERT_CHAIN): The server's certificate appears to be a forgery.
Yesterday, everything still worked and I can assure you that I do not have changed anything on the Google Chrome settings or my computer!
Even restarting the computer or loading the website via another URL didn't help me. Now I'm stumped - do I maybe have a virus on my computer? Finally the error message is telling me something about a forgery!

That is sounding like you are using a very very old Google Chrome? Can this be?
Please update your browser or install the newest version of Google Chrome from scratch, then it should work again.

You are right! Now it is working! I was on the road with the old Google Chrome 15 *shame*, but now I have the newest version and everything is working like it should.
I already wondered why all of those instructions from the Internet were not working with my old browser. In the old version, this new 3-stripes-menu at the top right was not yet introduced, the newest version has it! Thanks again!

I have the same problem and again the reason seems to be the old version! Unfortunately, I cannot initialize the update because there is always coming an error message instead of the page... Any suggestions?

It was the same with my browser. The update function from the browser was not working anymore.
I just have deinstalled the entire browser completely and then I have installed it new from scratch.
Of course, you should not forget to back up important bookmarks and so on.
