But I will reiterate that my issue is not their security, but their lack of support around it on a 24 hour basis.
Using account number as login ID is equally awful as using your name.
Account numbers can be found published in a lot of places. If you were really in security roles, you would know that. It's trivial information covered in all 30 minute long "introduction to account security" classes. BTW your account number is associated with every investment you have, every transfer you make, every buy or sell (that gets reported to SEC), every statement, everything you do. They follow a format and can be guessed easily.

Highly recommend you change that immediately. Then your need for a 24/7 response will never be triggered in the first place.

No need to reply. People here are trying to help you. If you prefer to ignore that advice, we prefer to ignore your reply.
