Charles Schwab now has a entry code just like Amazon started - samintx - 03-15-2018
You can choose several options...email, what phone, etc. Don't know if it lasts all day because I got a code this a.m. and signed out. I just got into my account and didn't have to get a new code.
Guess good protection against hackers but a pain also.

Codes last 30 min, usually. You can request an app that will generate a code you append to your password, if you prefer a complicated but non-interactive option.

Best get used to it. It will be standard practice soon.

Multi factor authentication is becoming a requirement for banking and credit card companies. However.... when someone builds a better mousetrap, evolution will build a better mouse...

After my entry the codes seem to get me in all day. BAC had codes and another bank but they have stopped using.

Sam, you travel a good bit. Have you tried Schwab's debit card that is supposed to have free ATM usage around the world?

I used it on a South East Asia trip. No fees and No Foreign Transaction fee. Just make sure you choose US Dollars if you are given a choice of how you want the transaction to resolve. ATM charge was charged, then reversed without my intervention.

About to give it a serious shakedown in Chile and Argentina.

Why is the US Dollars choice important, Ken Sp.?

That way the conversion is made by Schwab at the banker's rate. The ATM could be giving an unfavorable exchange rate.
