Why you should use 2FA for Interactive Brokers?

Interactive Brokers is a popular online trading platform that allows users to invest in a variety of financial instruments. While the platform offers robust security measures, it's always a good idea to take extra precautions to protect your account. That's where 2-factor authentication (2FA) comes in.
 

 Enabling 2FA on your Interactive Brokers account adds an extra layer of security to your login process. With 2FA, you'll need to enter a unique code in addition to your password to access your account. This code is typically generated by an app like our Authenticator, which stores your 2FA codes securely.
 

 By enabling 2FA, you'll greatly reduce the risk of unauthorized access to your account. Even if someone manages to obtain your password, they won't be able to log in without the unique code generated by your Authenticator app.
 

 Of course, it's important to keep your Authenticator app secure as well. Make sure to use a strong, unique password for your app and enable any additional security features offered by your device. Additionally, be wary of phishing attempts and never share your 2FA codes with anyone.
 

 Overall, enabling 2FA on your Interactive Brokers account is a simple and effective way to enhance your account security. With our Authenticator app, you can easily store and manage your 2FA codes for all your accounts in one convenient location.
