Wealthfront offers real 2FA (TOTP) and their Cash account pays 4.3%. Don't think there is direct Yubikey support yet.
They are not a bank, but spread your deposits over multiple banks if needed in order to achieve high FDIC insurance limits.
They also issue revocable unique login codes for some 3rd party app authentication, which I appreciate a lot. Some other 3rd party connections just use Plaid or similar.
- r00fus 3y agoWealthfront requires me to authenticate with my existing bank (ie, entering existing creds into wealthfront) for transferring money. Any way around that? That's kind of a no-go for me.
- cypherpunks01 3y agoHmm, I don't remember my setup exactly, but I thought there was a way to manually add a new account for withdrawal, of course, you'd be entering account number, which is sort of like a password. But I'm sure they have to handle transfers from old-school banks that don't have all these fintech connections, perhaps their support could help, I'm not totally sure sorry!
- r00fus 3y agoAmusingly I got it to accept the ABA routing but then they recognize the ABA and force me to login. I just don't want to type in my other bank's credentials into Wealthfront. I'm sure they know I don't but won't let me avoid it. So I'll continue to avoid them.
