Are any of you users having the same problem I have when logging into Schwab? Every time I log into Schwab and try to connect, I get the log in screen where I enter my credentials. That works fine. But after doing that, I get the same 4 or 5 more pages asking me to confirm this, that, and the other thing. Why do I have to see these pages again and again? I should see them only once and then Schwab and MW should be satisfied and connect me without me having to act like I am a first-time user every time I log in. TDA never had this problem. Tradier does not have this problem. It seems to be a problem with Schwab and MW not remembering the security token (according to Schwab - the Schwab security token is not being saved, recognized, or remembered by MW).

MW has written this to me:

I connected to Schwab, and yes, their website does show multiple web pages, but that is not something we have control over.

So Schwab says it is not their fault and MW says they have no control over it. The run-around. Anyone else have this issue?

UPDATE: Every time I log into Schwab, I set an e-mail from them "Updated third-party access preferences to your Schwab financial account data." As if they think I am always doing things for the first time.

This is for sure a Schwab API design constraint, it is Schwab that is demanding the additional acceptance steps i.e. Login, T&C, Select Trading Account, click done.. Since Schwab may allow multiple trading accounts, you'd need to define/select which one your connecting too should the ability to trade directly via MW. Each API provider has their own nuances, annoying but for now just happy Schwab and MW have something... since they're not a pay for data service...

Yet Schwab says this is not an issue on their end. Did the support guy just not know what he was saying?
