I mean it varies from browser to browser, and it usually happens when clicking a link from emails, not during normal browsing.
Honestly I've had this same issue for 3 phones now, I just assumed it was something that just happened sometimes
Yeah that's a security feature and it's doing its job. If someone is trying to steal your Discord account, bypassing this error will give it to them.
Do you have anything like a VPN that does any kind of traffic manipulation? Some custom DNS server? Can you think of anything that might be different between your mobile and desktop connections that could cause this? Are you in a country/company/ISP that interferes with its citizens' Internet access?
Edit: also, if you go to https://badssl.com/ and try some of the green ones, do they work or not? Especially HSTS
Edit: so it turns out it was actually my VPN, turns out there's some issue with either android or Nord where if I click to disconnect from the VPN it wasn't actually disconnecting. I had to manually remove it from VPN permissions in the android settings
Two possible reasons here:
Discord is blocking Nord from password reset links on a network level (probably because VPN servers are second only to Tor when it comes to malicious traffic). Frankly, I would've expected a CAPTCHA page instead, but it's technically possible for an error to show up that way. You can try bypassing it by manually editing the address to make sure it starts with https.
Your VPN is actively trying to sslstrip you. Aside from the whole "that's literally a crime people go to prison for" thing, that means you cannot ever trust that VPN again. Just because Discord bothered to secure their website doesn't mean other apps do. You may already have been hacked if that is the case.
I'd be extremely cautious with VPN software because you're essentially trusting them to be your ISP. If they're doing permanent 40% off deals or (god forbid) sponsoring YouTubers, you should never trust them. It's both funny and depressing how companies like PIA and Nord somehow convinced everyone that VPNs make your internet more secure while also not getting people to think for even a second about how much they trust these shady ass Caiman Island tax dodge scheme companies.
