WhiskeyAndIce (@OptionsWolf77) reported@Sanji_vals @IBKR You can use the second 2Auth with an authenticator app from google or microsoft. Just make sure to connect them with cloud. If you loose your phone, download the app on the new one and login wirh authenticator app. Its really annoying to contact support, which is so difficult.

Peter Penny (@PeterCarli28957) reported@CoreyCicero @TT_stocks_ @IBKR No it isn’t- I tried that. It’s free IF you only trade market hours- anything PM OR AH is 1% fees. Not to mention when I went to pull my money out they made me send my ID AND a video of me holding up my passport saying who I was lmao. Again worst broker I’ve ever had and I’ve had every single one
-
morphie (@morphieCNFT) reported@IBKR It took them 3 weeks to send help good job
-
KHoloud (@KH_SHx) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Your broker Too slow !!
-
The Titan Traders (@TT_stocks_) reported@D3GSolutions @IBKR Incredible there isn’t a good broker to use in 2026. TD Ameritrade was hands down the best but it’s gone now and nothing even compares now. Pathetic
-
Samuel (@sam_smms) reportedHello @IBKR Can you explain what caused that issue? That problem is still where I made a deposit usdc today, but the amount is hold for a day
-
Yousif Ashknani (@AshknKW) reported@IBKR No communications about ur boomer app not working during market hours ???
-
Joe Wyer (@joe365ppm) reportedI think @IBKR is the worst website interface and support experience I have ever had. That includes the DMV, gov tax website, etc.
-
froyomofo (@froyomofo1) reported@IBKR I put a ticket in FOUR DAYS AGO and still nothing back. Why ******** should I keep using a platform where I can’t get an answer to a question in a reasonable amount of time?!
-
Sush$ (@Sush1942) reported@IBKR iBKR is down at crucial moments @Nasdaq
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedMy goodness I can't wait to leave @IBKR now Friday and today always communication errors when trying to load the option chain and can't make a move. You guys absolutely suck and don't care a bit about your clients. Spare me the web ticket message you're about to drop.
-
Thomasius (@TH0MA51U5) reported@OverWeightStock @IBKR But the worst customer service!
-
Ashrith Govind (@ashrithgovind) reported@defyneric i think its only because they issue cards to @IBKR clients. But not sure that if those volumes reflect here. but highly possible!
-
Martin BC (@MARTINPARK111) reported@IBKR Exactly. A clever model inside a broken process is still a broken process.
-
Shraey (@iamshraey_) reported@IBKR trying to open an account, but the only ID option shown for an Australian resident is driver’s licence, and submission always fails with invalid ID type. Support keeps telling me to upload a passport which isn’t even an available option or try again as it might be tech glitch. Is this a serious platform with tech or support team or just GPT-4 era vibe coded?
-
Lili Fee (@booklilifee) reported@MazFuryCabbage @IBKR You have to go to settings and get permission to trade US stocks and make fx transactions. I opened a USD account as well. You need to use the help function, it's a complex platform.
-
HammurabiHarmless (@gach51565) reported@IBKR Hope you are not in companion with Interactive invest who are the worst scammers on earth.
-
RobertoenMexico (@Olde_Pharte) reported@IBKR R U not even reading what I am saying?? When I call the customer support numbers you direct me to the automated response demands my account number which I cannot access RU simply an automated response as well??
-

-
Camila💚 (@Camiescobar_19) reported@IBKR lol this hits different when you're already down 40% on some random altcoin, ibkr dashboard just feels too clean compared to watching charts on your phone at 3am
-
Leticia Ft (@letilibertad) reported@IBKR Sorry for my question but I'm out of the loop on BTS and Jikook news because I've had a terrible headache. Are Rm, Jin and Suga in Paris? I only saw V, Hope and Jk stuff in Paris.
-
J.J. Jejeebhoy (@jjeebhoy) reportedObscene for @IBKR to go down in the middle of a trading day
-
Nate (@nathan96911) reported@IBKR I would not recommend using this brokerage service as they seem to completely ignore any customer service. No human answers their telephone customer service line.
-
DadBod (@alpha_imag8252) reported@IBKR No solution for my problem so far. The Windows app doesn't go through the opening process in any of my computers in 2 different adresses. My friends told me they have the same problem. What is happening???
-
Long & Right (@Ramblin_Rebel13) reportedI have an open position but @IBKR has kindly told me to f off at least twice now with no ETA on a fix. Their traders can't even close my position. Why is this ok? @CFTC
-
BorrisBOMBA (@thecracker_23) reported@IBKR Hi @IBKR why is it so difficult to reach out to your customer support?
