Of course the hardware token is a separate piece you would have to keep. If you’d rather have a stable credential ID, you can get a hardware token from E*Trade or just buy one on your own on Amazon for $25. You will have to call customer service and have them update the credential ID linked to your account. One small problem with the app on the phone is whenever you change to a different phone, you will have a new credential ID on the new phone.
You add the 6-digit code to the end of your password when you log in.
Just fire up the Symantec VIP Access app and you will have your code. Nowadays you can also get the token on your mobile phone or computer. E*TradeĮ*Trade has been offering the security token for at least 10 years. They do it the right way by offering security tokens for 2-factor authentication. What was my favorite when I signed up ten years ago? What’s the first name of your maternal grandfather? None of your business! Where should I keep a list of all the answers I made up for each place?įortunately some companies have better senses. What’s your favorite blah? My favorite changes. Some places ask those stupid security questions. I can stop someone from logging into my web email account because it requires a 6-digit code that changes every 30 seconds ( gmail 2-step verification), but I can’t stop someone from logging into my bank account if they got my user name and password.
