There is. Logging into those accounts is a pain in the ass, and requires active effort to remember doing. Automating things like bill-pay, deposits, and other "set it and forget it" tech is the best thing since sliced bread.

Just to be clear, we are talking about clicking on a bookmark, letting the password manager fill in the login info, and the clicking login or pressing enter?

Checking up on one's assets is something that should be on a periodic to do list. We even have devices that can be scheduled to alert us when it is time.

You can try to argue that this is stuff that people _should_ be doing, but it's always nice to build technology that acknowledges the tendency for humans to avoid doing repetitive, boring, manual work, rather than pretend that not be the case.

Close, you forgot the part where you need to locate your 2FA device, possibly connect it to a charger and wait for it to boot if needed, and then of course actually get the 2FA code and type it into the website.

edit: Oh, and I forgot the part where if you need to boot the device, you probably have to type in the password.

If I am using a previously used device, I do not get asked for 2FA on Schwab or Fidelity.

Also, macOS/iOS automatically fill in SMS 2FA which is nice.

Ah, that's nice, I hate sites that don't do that -- which includes the one I am currently forced to use. Hilariously, the mobile app allows using the fingerprint scanner instead of entering my password -- but still requires me to enter the 2FA code every time, which of course is on the same device, so it's not doing anything other than just wasting my time.

Don't use SMS 2FA, though.

I have to remember to do those few clicks, though.

Vanguard allows you to set up automated withdraws that are invested into specific funds, with one caveat:

`It’s important to note that you can only automate investments into Vanguard mutual funds.`

Should people not be remembering to login to their accounts on a monthly or at least bimonthly basis to save statements/verify transactions/check to make sure they are not being stolen from?

I glance at account balances about once a week just out of habit. More than that requires brain power that I either lack or am too lazy to use unless I plan ahead.

There's utility in automating anything you do manually the exact same way repeatedly and regularly
