One of the biggest challenges in today s online banking landscape is the process to prevent unauthorized parties from accessing your personal online banking information. Because mal-ware, spy-ware, and other undesirable code have become so common and so sophisticated, many computers have been compromised without users knowledge. As a result, login credentials (such as your online banking ID and password) may be very easy to steal. The nature of today s Internet means that neither you nor your bank can allow just an ID and password to grant access to your sensitive personal and financial information! The use of special cookies is the most common way that banking systems can uniquely remember (or register) the device or computer that you normally use to access your accounts. Whenever you connect to online banking, the system uses these encoded cookies to verify that this is one of the registered computers which you use for access. If that cookie is not present, then the system understands there is a greater risk that your credentials may be under the control of someone other than you, so the system requires you to receive and enter a one-time Secure Access Code. This code can be delivered to your phone number, mobile device, or e-email account. You will also have the opportunity to register the computer being used to avoid having to receive a Secure Access Code each time you log in. Many customers have the newest browser technology, which includes privacy options that allow you to delete all cookies when you close your browser. This measure is there to make it more difficult for shopping and search websites to track your online activity. However, this indiscriminate cookie purging process will also remove the special online banking cookies and other Internet sites you may wish to preserve for your browser s identity. Most customers prefer to whitelist or preserve the cookies for such sites so that when the browser is closed, those cookies remain, and all other cookies will be deleted. We have provided instructions on the following pages for the commonly used browser versions demonstrating how to set up your computer to whitelist the SYBT online banking site. This will enable you to have your computer* recognized and avoid having to repeatedly authenticate yourself with a one-time Secure Access Code. * You may register up to six computer systems for your online account.
