Mine doesnt work when i push the button anymore. I literally have to push and wiggle the button to get a code. I havent gotten any letters though. The contact between the button and what it presses against must be failing in mine.
My physical security token just died.

It made it almost nine years. I got one of the first XI ones from a ZAM contest. -

I'm olde - when I first had a cell phone it was a Nokia the size of a small brick and couldn't be lost like my supersexyslender S6 can....Quote:

It also depends heavily on your usage more than the time passed; how many times do you end up using it per day? etc. Since posting in this thread I have actually noticed my XI one is slower to pop up after being pressed down than it used to be, so I think mine is on the way out as well.Quote:

Welp I guess the real question is, do we feel like we deserve the phone version for free after paying for these? We won't get no where unless other people are running into the same problems and we all raise our voice. I don't feel like I should have to spend money on the phone version, these physical versions should be transferable.
I will literally run this thing till its dead and pester the hell out of SE support just to get it removed before canceling it and buying the phone version if it comes to it. -
