IB Token broke...

Quote from IBj:
if you have more than one account IN THE SAME ACCOUNT NAME, you can link these accounts to the same security device. Go to Account Management / User functions / Token sharing.
We will probably allow certain special cases of device sharing even when the account ownership is different. For example, someone who has a single account and shares access to a joint account will be able to link their access to one device. But we will get to the special cases in the next few months.
I find this process to be confusing. Suppose I have two accounts, one already with a token and one without. Which account do I log into to share the token device? From the tooltips on User Management --> Token Sharing, it says "Share your authentication token with another user that has the same identification data." So that would seem to imply I want to do this from the account that already has the token. However, when I click on Token Sharing from that account the fields you have to input are "Username with Token to Share:" and "Password for this User." And this seems to imply that you want to log in from the account that doesn't have the token. Which is correct?
Also, if you already have a token for two accounts but you want to share a token between the two instead, will this process work?

The one that HAS the token can share it with the one that does NOT have one.

Unless they have cleaned up their act, I think you'll find TS feed to be sub par.
TS is fine. I had IB and TS running side by side for almost a year. I've never noticed a difference or lag w/ TS. the quotes and bid/ask are same. in fact, the only quotes that I can remember freezing is IB. TS has blanked out overnight when I kept it on, but I've yet to get frozen quotes w/ TS.

token sharing doesn't work.
I tried with to identical accounts and i get the message: "cannot be shared because accounts apply for different level of device" (something like that).
THe funny thing is that the account without token its way too big that the one with the device.
