Hopefully my Google Account still is safe for the moment.

Using the Samsung ATIV S. They're out to the public on Nov 14, it really works well with Windows 8.

i think this is a great idea!

LOL I looked at that phone and said, woah! it's a mini tablet. Pretty much a galaxy note with windows 8 on it.
I would rather have the Lumia 820 but I have no clue what carrier will have that phone. I'm going back to AT&T
only because it is the best carrier in the area I'm in. I always had signal where ever I was with them.
The 820 is the same size as my current HTC HD7 so it would work right for me.

Sorry for the derail OP, um Tokens n stuff?

I take it you are an Android user because of this fact, and I am the same.

All you need to do is use Titanium Backup and backup the app+data, then you will not need to keep removing the token, all the unique information that could be used for an algorithm for an authenticator are stored either on your SIM (phone number) or your efs folder (IMEI) these are not touched by flashing roms so it will not cause any problems as long as you backup your apps and data via titanium backup (which you should really be doing anyway)

I really think this is a brilliant idea, all they need is to use an app with no "network communication" permissions and it will be off the grid... Android apps are run in sandboxes which no one has been able to get around to give an app permissions it doesn't have. I don't know about IOS or BB development so I cannot comment on those.

Android will be able to use it without network communication, and no apps will be able to access the authenticator app because of the sandboxes, as I said these sandboxes are impossible to get around (for now anyway).
