[call for action] IB is forcing 2FA

HobbyTrading said:
For this use-case am I using Teamviewer because it works on both Linux (Ubuntu) and iPad. I enable it on my Linux trading server at home before I leave and then do the weekend re-logon remotely from the iPad. There is one big caveat though: This does NOT work on Ubuntu 22.04! Make sure that your Linux box uses an older version of the Ubuntu OS.

Why not just use VNC? There's VNC clients for iOS. TeamViewer is unnecessary.
 
Also, if you run IBCAlpha to auto-login, I suppose you don't need any remote connection to the machine, just auth through the phone app.

This would be extremely annoying... except IB already made it impossible to use IBC to log in every day - instead like a lot of people I have to log in once a week.

I'm still using IBC to login each morning (fully automated and w/TWS 10.18)...did they change something and only roll it out to certain users?

It's not effective immediately. Seems also you need to 2FA login only once per week.

My 2FA is a plastic card IB sent me 20 years ago. It's a challenge-response with 224 codes on it.

This is no longer available. Only options are the temporary cellular MSG which almost never work timely, or the sketchy mobile app.

When I did my weekly login yesterday I was offered the choice of app, gold card or white card. But maybe that's because I already have the cards.
