"Fetch quote for _____."
"Show me quote for_____."
"I want a quote for _____."
"Fetch symbol for _____."
"I want the symbol for_____."

Once you've enabled the TIAA skill, you will have the option to link your TIAA account to access account information by following these steps.   

1. Go to Settings and tap Link Account.
2. Enter your TIAA username and password (A one time password will be required for account linking).
3. Next, you’ll create 6-digit Alexa PIN which will be used as a security question later.
4. Accept Terms and Conditions.
5. Now your TIAA account is successfully linked.

No. Once you've successfully paired your account to any Alexa-enabled device, it will work on any device that has Alexa–including the Echo, Echo Show, Dot, Tap, etc., as long as these devices are associated to the same profile.

No.

After you enable the skill, you also need to link your TIAA account to Alexa. Open the Alexa app on your phone, find the TIAA skill, and tap “Link Account.” Follow the instructions from there. You’ll know you’re done when you see a screen that says, “Your TIAA Skill was successfully linked.”

When you enable the TIAA skill, you enter your TIAA username and password. This lets Alexa access your TIAA information, but don’t worry—we don’t share your log-in information with Amazon (or anyone else).

No. We don’t share your log-in info with Amazon (or anyone else).

As long as the skill is enabled, Alexa will be linked to your TIAA accounts. If you don't want to let Alexa access your account anymore, you’ll have to disable the TIAA skill. To do that, open your Alexa app and go to the TIAA skill, then click on Disable and your account will be un-linked. Keep in mind that once you disable the TIAA skill, you won’t be able to ask Alexa about your TIAA accounts anymore on any Alexa-enabled Amazon device.
