Enroll in Schwab one-time password protection
A one-time-password (OTP) token is a common method for what’s known as two-factor or multi-factor authentication.. It provides you with a single-use numeric password that you use in addition to your usual password when logging into your account(s).
These single-use passwords protect the security of your accounts, even if someone else has correctly guessed your existing login ID and password. Schwab now offers soft token code delivery via mobile app, giving you the option to leverage your existing smartphone instead of a physical token.
Contact Schwab Alliance at 800-515-2157 to enroll.
