Yes I use a Mac. A base model refurb 2011 Mac Mini I got within a few days of Steve Jobs passing. It’s surprising but this 12.5 year old computer still runs fine. In the summer I think it’s got an overheating problem, probably needs new thermal compound on the CPU heat sink. I’m able to use...

I also have a problem logging in on IBKR Pro Mobile app today (Monday Aug 23) and once a few days ago. I'm in Canada. Was able to log in once a few hours ago, after the first failure, but now it is again giving response like "Attempt 2: connection error, will retry in 2 seconds...". Was trying...

The PC Portal login problem now seems to be solved for me too, starting this morning. For some reason it was not working all yesterday when it was working for korifey. I guess IB fixed something on their end.

OK I have update my iPhone to latest iOS 14.3, it seems to work same as before. I found that if I do a "force quit" of the IBKR phone app (as described in my previous post) before trying the PC Portal Login, the Login works normally. However if I then do some work (look at reports etc) with...

I am able to do a Portal Login on PC if I do the Authentication Challenge procedure, which is a hassle. Interestingly, after I tried first to totally quit the IBKR app (not just exit it) on my iPhone (removed app from memory, need to first double tap the iPhone "home" button, then swipe away...

Korifey, I am also having a problem logging into the Portal from my PC (a Mac Mini) for 2 weeks. Same problem has happened at various times since I started using IB about 8 months ago. The IBKR app on my iPhone works OK and that's what I use to place orders, but I need to sometimes use the...

Interesting. I started my IB account by depositing some fully paid stocks into my new IB margin account. Then I used a small amount of margin to buy some additional stocks (including more of the original stocks) and some other stocks. I am in the IB "Stock Yield Enhancement Program" for...

Finally able to login by IBKR phone app around 4:50pm EST, that's a full trading-day outage. Vancouver, Canada. Still cannot login on PC to Portal account management webpage, but that has been an issue for at least 5 days ago and has been happening 6 months or more. Their 2FA login procedure...

Still unable to login from cellphone IBKR app from Vancouver Canada area at 335pm EST (stock markets close in 25 minutes). The IBKR app is what I use to trade, normally works fine. Trying to login from PC to the IB "Portal" (I use the Portal to get reports and adjust account settings) also...
