IB Secure Device

No need to vote on 2355. We will implement a "one man one token" concept regardless of how many accounts you have.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm not sure how we'll handle people who already have multiple tokens, but we will come up with a procedure for them to consolidate to one device. When I know more I'll post it.

Sal,
Thanks for the replies. I don't trade an automated system but would prefer to avoid using a token for normal logins.
If you can implement some type of strategy that either:
- limits tradables to a predefined list, only alterable with token; or
- limits tradables to only those traded in the last XX days, only alterable with a token;
then that would meet my needs and those of a large number of people with whom I trade.

Kiwi,
I like the idea of removing easily manipulated products from customers who sign the waiver and refuse the device. We're discussing the idea internally now. I'll let you know what we decide.

Wouldn't be easier to implement and more straightforward if IB just recorded some number of ip addresses and would allow to trade from those machines only if no token used.
If your point is that token should be a must with no exceptions then fine by me. Otherwise nothing is foolproof ( but in my opinion it's very difficult to spoof ip address of some other machine which no one but you even knows it.) Besides in case no token was used for login limitation should be put on funds withdrawal not on trading. The trading by itself is useless for intruder if there is a restriction to withdraw.
IP addresses change.
I wouldn't think the specific machine address gets to IB, just the the address that the internet service provider connects to the backbone with.Quote from gkishot:
