AccountSync and Two Factor Authentication

AccountSync and Two Factor Authentication From the previous posts I've seen, it sounds like you can't use 2 factor authentication (2FA) for your brokerage account if you also want to use AccountSync. Clearly it would be very desirable to use 2FA and and AccountSync for the club's brokerage account. Our club uses Fidelity so I took a quick look at their website to see if they had any capabilities that would allow this to happen. From the documentation on their website, It appears that they offer a capability called Fidelity Access that would allow secure access to an account without needing the account's userid and password. Quoting from their website - "With Fidelity Access, you'll no longer be asked by third-party websites and applications to provide your Fidelity login credentials for access to your account information. Instead, when you choose to access your Fidelity account information through a website or application that participates in Fidelity Access, you'll be automatically linked to Fidelity and can then authorize us to provide that website or application with access to your account information. Once we receive that authorization, Fidelity Access will allow that website or application to access your account information through a secure connection." https://www.fidelity.com/security/fidelity-access-data-security I'm not sure if this capability would work for Bivio, it might be useful to look into it (and perhaps somebody already has). Also I'm not sure if other brokerages offer similar capabilities. If this capability works, then we could set up 2FA for manual logins to our brokerage accounts and also be able to use AccountSync. In a related note, it would be nice if Bivio itself offered 2 factor authentication for our Bivio userids. Looking for insight from Bivio team and others into possibilities and/or plans to support 2 Factor Authentication Thanks in Advance! Len Delmolino Massachusetts High Flyers Investment Club |
