A rabbit checks the domain light,
Then tests the sign-in page at night.
Google gets a review request,
The Kinde route can serve the rest.
When warnings fade, the custom returns,
And the rabbit hops as the browser learns.

- Around line 203-204: Update the Google Search Console guidance in the
“Security issues” steps to tell readers to inspect affected URLs and fix
confirmed issues before requesting a review; direct them to submit a Safe
Browsing error report only when they believe the warning is incorrect.
- Line 197: Update the domain troubleshooting guidance so that loading the Kinde
subdomain is described only as evidence that it is reachable, not that the
application sign-in works. In the instructions around `KINDE_ISSUER_URL`, tell
readers to test sign-in from the application after switching the issuer and
verify that authentication returns to the callback and completes.

Included review availability: This review used your included allowance. Your plan provides up to 1 included review per hour; 0 remain after this review.

Your Kinde domain looks like `your_subdomain.kinde.com`. You chose it when you created your account. Find it in Kinde under **Settings > Business > Details**.

Make sure your authentication pages have consistent, recognizable branding, including your page title, [favicon](/design/brand/global-brand-defaults/#add-favicons-for-web-browsers), and business or domain identity. No newline at end of file
Open that domain in a private browser window. If the sign-in page loads there and Chrome only blocks the custom domain, your Kinde account is fine. The warning is on the new domain name.

Do not equate a loaded Kinde page with a working application sign-in.

Loading the Kinde subdomain only shows that its sign-in page is reachable. It does not test the application redirect, callback, or completed sign-in. Test the application after changing KINDE_ISSUER_URL; that test cannot occur before the issuer switch because the application still uses the custom domain.

🐛 Suggested fix
-If the sign-in page loads there and Chrome only blocks the custom domain, your Kinde account is fine. The warning is on the new domain name.
+If the sign-in page loads there and Chrome only blocks the custom domain, the Kinde subdomain is reachable. This does not confirm that your application's sign-in flow completes.
...
 Users will need to sign in again. Sign-in on the Kinde domain does not carry over to the custom domain, or back again.
+
+After changing `KINDE_ISSUER_URL`, start sign-in from your application and confirm that authentication returns to the callback URL and completes.
