Getting invalid request errors? Trying going incognito.
I’ve recently run into a few errors at GoDaddy that required a call to my account rep, and I’ve learned a quick tip that can help resolve the errors.
When clicking through links to confirm contact updates while receiving domain names from another investor, I kept getting errors that read “Given request is invalid. If you feel this is incorrect please try again.”
I tried a couple of things to get it to work, including resubmitting my original request. But there’s a simpler solution to try first: use a private browsing window.
Apparently, these errors can be caused by caching. If you copy the link in the email to a private browser window, such as incognito in Google Chrome, it usually resolves the problem. It worked for me.

I’ve noticed this too. Good note!

Having all sorts of issues with GD site in Chrome lately. Possibly caching, but clearing cache doesn’t seem to help a whole lot.

I opened an incognito window and pasted in the url to approve a contact change but still got the “Given request is invalid” message. I noticed it did not show me logged into the GoDaddy account. I logged into my account, opened a second incognito tab and pasted in the url, and it showed me as logged in. When I approved the change it went right through successfully.
