Re: opt out from: Secure Login required for trading
|
I think being?forced to use 2FA for logging in to TWS is coming to North America as well.
I use IB through another introducing broker, and they sent an email last week stating that due to a policy change, everyone had to enable 2FA for logging in to TWS.
Maybe if enough people complain IB will reverse course?
I cannot opt out from 2fa for trading in one of my accounts (and my relative has same issue). Note, I am not talking about disabling 2fa altogether, just for trading.
I have several other accounts where logging into tws is happening without 2fa. And that was a simple exercise of
1. making sure that _all_ users are enrolled into 2fa
2. logging as the "main" user and going into settings -> security -> secure login system and then pressing the wheel next to "Secure Login not required for trading" to configure which users to opt out
However for the account where I haven't yet done that I can't seem to be able to set it up. there is simply no wheel next to??"Secure Login not required for trading". The whole line is greyed out
I have made a ticker on the issue and got a response: "new accounts cannot opt out and we are planning to disable optout for existing accounts in the future".?
Anyone has experienced the same (I am from EU)? Is it for real or my ticker just got answered by unexperienced person and the problem is in some other place (happened many times that first answer they give is plain wrong :) )?
I am thinking: how algorithmic trading is going to work? it is a bit of a mess to be constantly present every time you app decided to start trading (or there was some outage and it needed to redo 2fa).
