Login Messages
If client action is required post account creation, IBKR will assign a login message to the user. Once login message is assigned, user will be prompted to complete login message upon accessing IBKR Portal.
Scenarios which IBKR will assign a login message:
- Expired tax form
- Update CRS form
- Verify Account Information
- Email Bounced
The following login messages can be completed using the API:
- ACK_AGREEMENT_UPDATE (Use
DocumentSubmission) - W8INFO (Use
UpdateTaxForm) - LLC_AGREEMENT_UPDATE (Use

All other login messages will need to be completed within IBKR Portal (not via API).
