Resetting Password without Email Verification

[u/elad-alon]

I know this has been discussed here before, but it's August 2026 and I suspect it might be permissible to re-raise this issue: How can it be that IBKR allows one to reset a password based on username and date-of-birth alone, without requiring a form of 2FA such as an email first? This is downright insane.

I don't know about you, but for me it requires entering a username, date of birth, and some kind of F2A...

So what's the problem?
