If it's true that all four had outages, that's going to need some explaining.
But I'm also keeping in mind that the source of the data is Downdetector user reports, presumably some percentage of which are user's own computer/networking problems or forgotten passwords, and presumably there will be a much higher number of people who rarely log in trying to do so, right after news that looks like possible imminent market crash.
It’s not the login that’s the problem. On two accounts, I could login to Fidelity just fine. Displaying balances and positions threw an error, however.
