Browser Recommendations

We recommend:

Note: These are the minimum browser requirements needed for using the service.

Required Settings

Make sure that the browser is set to accept cookies (from both 1st party and 3rd party).
See Web Browsers - Cookies FAQ for details (use the "managing cookies" links on the bottom of the page).

Security Issues - Session states

Some browsers allow you to save your session state and reload it the next time you open the browser.  Users should be aware of the security implications of this setting.   Saving your session means that even if you exit the browser application entirely and reopen it, your NetID Login session will still be valid.  Especially if other users could have access to your computer, this is a significant security concern. 

Browsers that allow you to save sessions include:

• Firefox
• Safari
• Chrome

For more information, see the KB article NetID Login Service - Logout Procedure.
