Secure Login System

Trading Term

An Interactive Brokers security system that provides additional protection to your account against fraudulent transactions through the use of a security device. As soon as your account is funded, the Secure Login System sends you an IBKR security device free of charge, which is a passcode card the size of a small credit card with a list of random codes to be used in conjunction with your username and password to access secure areas. If you are an existing customer and are not enrolled in the Secure Login System, or have opted out of the program in the past and now want to enroll, you can use the Secure Login System page to apply for an IBKR security device. The following guidelines apply to our Secure Login System:

  • The device provides an extra layer layer of physical security to your IBKR account.
  • Participation in the Secure Login System results in higher daily and weekly withdrawal limits.
  • If you have multiple accounts, you don't need multiple devices. You can share a security device among multiple usernames registered to the same individual.
  • If you choose not to participate, you must understand and acknowledge that IBKR will not compensate you or credit your account in the event that it is compromised by hackers or identity thieves.
