Installing Secure Browser on Windows and MacOS

Secure Browser is a standalone application for Windows and macOS that locks down your computer during exams by blocking other websites, shortcuts, and apps, ensuring a secure and cheat-free testing environment. If your exam requires Secure Browser, you’ll be asked to install it when you start your first exam (usually a trial exam).

Note: Currently, Secure Browser can be installed only in the exam preparation wizard, during the setup steps after you start your exam.

For both Windows and macOS, installing Secure Browser requires either administrator permissions or administrator account credentials. This ensures system security and prevents unauthorized changes to your device.

• Windows: To install Secure Browser on Windows, you need administrative privileges. This is because the installation involves modifying system files and settings, which require higher access than a regular user account can provide. You must be logged in as an administrator or provide admin credentials during the installation process.
• macOS: Similarly, installing Secure Browser on a Mac requires administrator privileges. The system will prompt you for an administrator password to authorize any changes to system-level settings. Admin access or credentials are necessary for successful installation.

These security measures ensure that only authorized users can install software, preserving your system's integrity. If you need assistance with installation, contact your IT department or the administrator managing your device permissions.
