If you are reading this, then you must be aware how irritating this 400 bad Request Error is. it doesn’t let you log into your blog. The only options you have then is to use another browser or use the incognito mode.
If you want to use the same browser then you have to clear all your browser data. It doesn’t take long, but I hate when I am logged out of every website I’m mostly logged into (hint: Facebook, Gmail etc).
Even if you are not facing this issue right now, you should read this post as it is going to help you in future if something like this happens.
What causes the 400 Bad Request Error
Every website you browser, saved some cookies in the browser, these cookies contain your login infromtaion, what time you browsed the page etc. They are also responsible for keeping you logged into sites like Gmail, Facebook and your own blog.
These cookies auto expire to make space for new cookies to be loaded. But some corrupt cookies do no expire and then they overload and cause this 400 Bad Request Error.

When you search for your blog url, remove all the entries that appear in the list. And then click on done.
You will now be able to log into your blog properly. This is an easy fix when you face this 400 Bad Request Error. I hope you find this tutorial useful.
