I haven't noticed that as I don't run it over the weekend. My IB Gateway is closed by task scheduler every friday and then i manually login on Sunday with 2FA. IB does weird stuff on servers over weekends, I prefer fresh start.
Let's just be glad that IB at least is making it mandatory to use 2-factor authorization and let's also hope that the 2-factor authorization works better than Robinhood's.
Does anyone know if 2FA IB seed can be exported to other authenticator apps (google authenticator etc.)?
What's good about it? We're talking about Gateway instances which only accept localhost connections and are exclusively used for trading, typically on very secure Linux boxes. Taking care of security should be left for the customer, forcing rules down the throat is not a solution. That said, I've yet to see mandatory 2FA. Could it be a Canadian thing? AFAIK certain countries require 2FA to be used, it's not up to IB.
%% Personally i dont like using my phone much ; compared to a computer,. Once a day; Occasionally take a leap of faith for 6 or 7days [one week]. A big CAT could leap for 7/14 days....... .. all its life, same with a deer. I like work to much to skip much more than 5-7days[one week] I did enjoy my IBKR calender; strange most calenders have 4 or 5 grid lines\weeks; that older IBKR calender had 2 grip lines week sections. In other words IBKR had 14day sections/per month; instead of my favorite 7 day calender sections-standard\ per month,
