Simple questions on IB

[entropytrading]

I am new to IB and wonder if:

1. I can skip the password card entry when logging into TWS (desktop) every time. I see security-wise it is good for account mgmt, but finding it cumbersome inputting every time for TWS.

2. For FXTrader, which pair window/cell there is this grey line at the back saying Buy USD.JPY on the Ask side, Sell USD.JPY on the Bid side. I find it confusing, as I have set hotkeys buying and selling at different prices for each pair. Is there anyway to delete that grey wording.

Thanks.

1. Yes, but I don't recommend it. If you disable the protection they will not take any responsibility if anyone gets into your trading account.
