    Yeah, sadly tokens don't guarantee 100% security. Hackers can easily hijack a session, which is why what people really need is to have a password that's at the very least 14 characters and have perhaps a punctuation mark, numbers, and all that fun stuff.

    Exactly! That's how my password is set up. It's like this:

    oscarmayer92&

    Use a word or two, some numbers, then a symbol. Your password would be strong enough to not get hacked

    Tokens have been hacked. SecureID was breached and it affected lots of businesses, millions of customers: http://www.secureworks.com/cyber-thr...rsacompromise/

    Also, spell a word or two backwards: oscarreyam92& to make it even stronger. But unfortunately if your session ID is hijacked, the strength of your pw won't matter.
