Activate Your Security Device

Once you receive your security device from IB, you will need to login to account management to activate the secure login system.

For more information, see the Account Management Users' Guide.

Note: You have 14 days from the day we mail you your Security Device to activate the device in Account Management. After 14 days, you are required to use the device to log into Account Management and Trader Workstation. If you receive the device before 14 days, you can access Account Management and our desktop trading platform without using the device until you activate it or until 14 days have passed. Once you activate the device, you must use it to log into Account Management and our desktop trading platform.
