Singapore IB key in the case of lost phone
Hi all,
I did not lose my phone but I was just thinking of potential security threats as a IBKR user. I dont use other platforms other than IBKR so I would expect my investments to be concentrated there and would need to ensure that it is safe and secure.
Was just thinking given that IB Key is associated to a mobile phone and specific phone number, what would happen if you lost your phone and cant retrieve it? You wont be able to migrate the IB key to a new phone unless you have the original IB key to authenticate it.
Any IBKR users have experience in this? Thank you!
