To ensure a high level of security for our shareholders, we require a browser that uses 128-bit encryption. This level of encryption is one of the strongest levels of encryption currently available to U.S. and Canadian citizens. T. Rowe Price requires the 128-bit encryption to ensure the safety of your account data, and it is supported by most current browsers. The recommended browsers below all support 128-bit encryption with no modification.

Additionally, there are sections of our website that may require browser plug-in and supporting software. While the majority of the website does not require plug-ins, the following software is recommended to ensure the best experience on the site.

Pop-up blocking technology is used to block advertisements that are built into many commercial websites. This technology can be found built directly into many Web browsers as well as antivirus and Internet security software packages. It also is incorporated into many toolbars that can be installed as a companion to a Web browser.

While pop-up blocking is very useful in most cases, this technology can also cause difficulties when browsing websites that use pop-up windows for legitimate functionality of those websites. There are locations on the T. Rowe Price website where the use of pop-up blocking technology will adversely affect the intended functionality of the site. These locations include launching Online Access Brokerage, 529 accounts, myRetirement Plan, AccountMinder, and Portfolio Tracker from the Retail Online Access Portfolio Activity area. In addition, content within the Research section of troweprice.com and Online Statements launch in a pop-up window.

Most software that incorporates pop-up blocking technology allows for options to temporarily disable pop-up blocking or create a list of websites on which to allow pop-up windows. The following instructions will assist you with updating the most common software products to allow pop-ups on the T. Rowe Price website.
