You won't be able to access CBDR or MyCBDR using Internet Explorer 8, 9 or 10 on Windows 8 and 7 without making changes to your browser settings.
We can't recommend that you continue to use Internet Explorer 8, 9 or 10 when a newer version is available. Instead, we recommend you install either the latest version of Internet Explorer or another supported browser such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox.
If you feel it's necessary though, the following workaround should keep your credentials and data safe while using Internet Explorer 8, 9 or 10.
If you use Windows Vista, Windows XP or earlier, you will not be able to use Internet Explorer to access our sites at all.
Switch to Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. (Better still, upgrade to Windows 8 or newer).
