Does OptiView store my broker login credentials?
OptiView connects to brokerage accounts using OAuth 2.0 without storing login credentials. Users authenticate directly with their broker, and OptiView receives a limited-access token instead of a username or password.
How broker connection works
- OptiView uses OAuth 2.0 to connect securely to brokerage accounts
- Users are redirected to their broker’s website to log in directly
- The broker returns a limited-access token to OptiView after authentication
- OptiView never receives or stores usernames or passwords
Token permissions
- Tokens grant access only to approved data such as positions, balances, or market data
- Tokens can allow order instruction submission without exposing login credentials
- Permissions are defined by the broker and require user approval
Security and user control
- OptiView encrypts tokens in transit and at rest
- Users can revoke access at any time through their broker account or within OptiView
- Access tokens can be limited in scope and duration depending on the broker
