Why cookies matter
Secure login sessions often depend on cookies to remember session state, device verification, and redirects. If cookies are blocked too aggressively, the page may loop or fail.
Settings to review
Review browser settings in a safe, minimal way. You do not need to lower your security globally; often you only need to allow the official site to work correctly.
Allow cookies for the official banking site.
Allow redirects required by the secure sign-in flow.
Temporarily test without ad blockers, script blockers, or strict privacy extensions.
Allow necessary pop-ups only when the login flow requires a secure new window.
Update the browser before deeper troubleshooting.
Managed work devices
If this is a company device, browser policies may be controlled by IT. Do not bypass company security rules; ask IT to review finance portal restrictions.
FAQ
Can an ad blocker break login?
Yes, some blockers can interrupt scripts, redirects, or cookies required by secure sign-in.
Should I disable all security tools permanently?
No. Test temporarily and restore protection after identifying the issue.
