Hey, just trying to restart this algo. I've used it for a year. Never had issues, certainly not this one. Getting an error:

Here's a clear, step-by-step guide for resolving the 'LoginFailedAccountTasksRequired' error with Interactive Brokers (IB) Gateway and QuantConnect deployment:
1. Why This Error Appears:
The error means IB requires you to resolve a pending "account task" before allowing third-party access (such as QuantConnect). These tasks might be new compliance forms, updated terms, confirmation of details, or regulatory acknowledgments.
2. Download & Launch IB Gateway:
Go to the official IB Gateway download page:
https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/ibgateway-stable.php
Download, install, and run IB Gateway on your local machine.
3. Log In and Complete Required Tasks:
When you log in, IB Gateway may present pop-ups, prompts, or forms to complete (such as updated agreements or compliance tasks).
4. Ensure All Tasks Are Complete:
Keep logging in and completing tasks until you are shown the standard IB Gateway dashboard with no additional warnings or task prompts.
5. 2FA or PIN Prompt:
If your IB account has 2FA enabled, be ready to approve login via your mobile device/app and enter any required PIN.
6. Return to QuantConnect and Retry:
Once you can log in to IB Gateway with no interruptions or outstanding tasks, redeploy your live algorithm from QuantConnect using the IB connection.
7. Still Having Trouble?
If the error persists after all tasks have been completed in IB Gateway, contact Interactive Brokers Support directly—they can review your account for any hidden or unresolvable tasks.
If you follow each step above, your QuantConnect deployment should proceed past the "LoginFailedAccountTasksRequired" error. If you continue to face issues, IB Support will be able to assist further.
