I would like to ask if the integration of Charles Schwab real-time trading requires two key verifications per week like IBKR. It is quite inconvenient to do that with IBKR. Sometimes the network signal is not good and the key cannot be reached.

From the available QuantConnect documentation, there is no direct mention of Charles Schwab requiring periodic (such as weekly) two-factor authentication key verification for real-time trading, unlike the clear requirements with Interactive Brokers (IBKR).
For IBKR, it is well documented and widely discussed in the QuantConnect community that regular (usually once per week) two-factor challenge/verification is required due to IBKR's security policy.
On the other hand, for Charles Schwab, the integration is based on the Schwab Trader API, and the QuantConnect docs:
It is important to note: Schwab may have its own initial OAuth/token-based authentication (like most modern brokerage APIs), which may occasionally or initially prompt for 2FA when linking the account or refreshing long-lived tokens, but there is no QuantConnect or Schwab API documentation stating that users must enter a code every week or frequently as they must with IBKR.
