Is there a way I can blpConnect using my username and password rather than opening the bloomberg?

Not really. The desktop API requires an active terminal login. Bloomberg offers other products (SAPI, B-PIPE) that bypass the terminal but those are a different can of worms.

In fact, it is almost the inverse: Rblpapi can only work if and only if you are logged into your terminal the standard way.

Their software, their API, their rules. We only get to pay the fees....
