# Issue using the Devolutions Password Manager browser extension with localhost with HTTPS

The Devolutions Password Manager browser extension does not support connecting to Remote Desktop Manager over HTTPS. You may experience connection issues in Devolutions Password Manager if your system's HSTS-preload configuration contains localhost.

To check if Devolutions Password Manager is attempting to connect over HTTPS, [inspect your browser's network tab](https://docs.devolutions.net/password-manager/kb/browser-extension-knowledge-base/devolutions-password-manager-browser-extension-troubleshooting-guide/). The failed request to HTTPS should show in red.

### Solution

Either [use Devolutions Password Manager browser extension via native messaging](https://docs.devolutions.net/password-manager/kb/browser-extension-knowledge-base/devolutions-password-manager-browser-extension-via-native-messaging/) or remove localhost from your HSTS list.

{% hint style="info" %}
Since localhost is not part of the HSTS list by default, it must have been manually added or pre-loaded by a system or network administrator for a specific purpose. Removing it might lead to some unforeseen consequences.
{% endhint %}
