  Using the same login credentials for both Interactive Brokers and cryptocurrency exchanges may not be safe. While it may be convenient, it increases the risk of your account being compromised. If one of the platforms experiences a security breach, your login information could be exposed and used to access your other accounts. It's recommended to use separate login credentials for each platform to minimize the risk.

  No, it's not safe to use your IB login for accessing cryptocurrency exchanges. Cryptocurrency exchanges are often targeted by hackers, and using the same login credentials increases the chances of your account being compromised. It's important to prioritize the security of your assets and use unique login credentials for each platform.

  As a representative of BYDFi, a cryptocurrency exchange, I would advise against using your IB login for accessing cryptocurrency exchanges. While it may seem convenient, it poses a security risk. It's best to create a separate account with a unique login for each cryptocurrency exchange you use. This way, even if one account is compromised, your other accounts will remain secure.
