IB Key through the IBKR Mobile app provides investors with a secure second-factor authentication when logging into their trading account from any platform. In this lesson we will discuss how to configure IB Key as well as how to use IB Key for authentication when logging in.
Configuring IB Key
To activate IB Key for Two-Factor Authentication, open the IBKR Mobile app and, from the login screen, tap Register Two Factor. To link the app with a specific user, the investor can enter a Session ID or their Account Credentials. If the investor is logged in to another platform, such as Client Portal, they can enter the Session ID or QR Code provided and then set a PIN.
In this video, we will walk through configuring IB Key by entering Account Credentials.
Account Credentials
To activate using Account Credentials, the investor taps Account Credentials, enters their username and password for their Interactive Brokers account and taps Continue. The phone number listed on the account will be displayed on the next page. The investor can review to ensure the phone number displayed is their accurate mobile number, or add a mobile number, and then taps Get Activation Code.
An SMS message will be sent to the investors mobile phone with an activation code. Once received, enter the code sent via SMS on the app in the Activation Code field. In the PIN field, the investor will create a unique PIN to operate the app. Please note the PIN must be at least 4, and up to 6 numbers. Re-enter the PIN and tap Activate.
The investor will see a screen showing that Activation was successful. Once IB Key has been activated, investors can use it to securely log in to Client Portal, Trader Workstation, and manage their IB Debit Mastercard.
Using IB Key
To use IB Key with Client Portal or Trader Workstation, the investor will first enter their username and password credentials. In this example, the investor will log in to the Client Portal. Once the username and password has been entered, a screen will be displayed that says “Open the IBKR Notification on your phone” and the investor will receive a push notification on their phone. The investor taps the notification on their phone and an IB Key screen will popup asking if they would like to approve the sign in. Tap Approve and IB Key will require biometric credentials, security pin, or pattern to complete the authentication. If authentication succeeds, the login process automatically continues.
Didn’t Receive Notification
If the investor did not receive the notification, they can select Resend notification and the push notification will be resent to their device.
Alternatively, they can choose Log in with QR Code. A QR code will appear on the screen which the investor will scan using the camera app on their device that IB Key is configured on. Once scanned, the IBKR Mobile app will populate and the investor can select Approve to authenticate.
From the Log in with QR Code screen, the investor can select Log in with Challenge/Response. This will generate the challenge code and display the response box. Next, on the IBKR Mobile app, select IB Key Authentication from the bottom of the login page. On the next page, the investor will enter their PIN and, in the Challenge entry field, enter the Second Factor Authentication challenge code displayed on their computer screen. Tap Generate Response and a Response String will be displayed on the phone, which can then be entered in the text entry field on the computer. If authentication succeeds, the login process automatically continues.
If investors have purchased a new phone or reinstalled the IBKR Mobile app, they can reactivate two-factor authentication using the steps outlined in our user guide.

How can I access my account if I do not have access to my phone? Seems if I lose my phone; choose not to use; am away/forgot it..that I cannot access account. I really liked the 6 character access card and used it for YEARS..then it was permanently deactivated when I made some account changes. Don’t have account qualification for the Digital Security Card +. Very frustrating!

This process honestly is way too complicated. I bought a new phone and I have to transfer apps to the new device. I did that for quite a few logins to banks/brokers, with no to little pain. With IB, I tried for more than one hour, it doesn’t work. I cannot even find the session id that is supposed to be shown somewhere on login. You guys made it too complicated, I can only use the old device and I am thinking of moving to another broker as it is impossible to move my login method. As I can see above, a lot of other users are struggling as well.

Thank you for reaching out. Two-factor authentication is an extra layer of security for your IBKR account designed to ensure that you and only you, can access your account, even if someone knows your password.
IBKR requires all users to be two-factor authenticated and does not allow users to partially or fully opt out.
IBKR offers several two-factor authentication methods, free of charge, that include both a physical and digital solution. Please review them in this FAQ: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/faq?id=29079898

Hello, please let me know how can I get a QR code for authentication via Google Authenticator. TWS offers me only a QR code for IB Key, but I can’t run IBKR Mobile on my device. Thanks!
Thank you for reaching out. Please view this FAQ for instructions to activate a Mobile Authenticator App: https://www.ibkrguides.com/portfolioanalyst/sls/activate-mobile-authenticator-app.htm
On iOS devices, in the Global Settings of your device, locate your Mobile Authenticator app settings. There, make sure the switch to allow access to “Camera” is activated. On Android devices, you can access that switch from the Global Settings of your device → Apps & Notifications → your Mobile Authenticator app → Permissions.
We hope this helps!
Hello, I’m really upset with your customer policy, forcing the user from one day to the other, without prior warning that the hitherto login procedure (entering user name and password, and subsequently, entering the one-time-security code) is not working anymore! I consider the former procedure being secure enough to prevent fraudulent access. So, I avoided bothering about QR code, App stuff etc. on a smart phone. I used an old cellular, capable of receiving SMS only, but not of scanning QRs and that modernistic rubbish. My system, using PC and a simple cellular, worked fine until you came up with additional security features, without prior notice that I don’t consider indispensable. It’s more than one week time that I can’t get access to my account!

Dear IBKR, I have been using your service for around 2 months. With each login I have been asked to install an application which provides an extra layer of protection, but because I have a relatively old phone (Samsung Galaxy S7 with Android 8.0.0) I simply can’t install the application (the store would not let me). Normally when I logged in, there was an option to skip the installation, until recently, when I can’t access the portal unless I install the application, which I can’t do on my phone. Please tell me what should I do. I have an application such as Google Authenticator for other service, maybe it can be used? Unfortunatelly scanning the QR code with Google Authenticator yields an error. Best regards

I am an user of Aegis that is an open sourced (and free) authenticator apps and also keepPassXC as password manager. I don’t need to visualize my IB account on my cell phone. I’d like to use Aegis or KeepPass, but I am getting errors. When I scan the QR code to activate the 2FA authenticator with Aegis, I get an error. And when I enter the secret code from the top of the QR code into KeepPass, I also get an error saying that the secret code is not in base32. That seems that the QR is not compatible with mobile authenticator. How can I get a QR for a authenticator (Aegis) or secret code for KeepPassXC? Can you give the steps ?
