    the only problem with the physical security token is that the last time I checked they do not come with an "unregister" code the way that the software tokens do. Thus if your physical security token runs out of battery life or gets damaged in some way, then you have to jump through lots of red tape in order to be able to access your account again, unfortunately.

    What this means is that the Software Token on the iOS or Android are generally speaking going to be the superior options for securing your account.

    My wife has her physical token from when she played XI. She says she got it when they were first introduced. It's still going strong.

    I believe that the hardware tokens have a low battery warning. So you can replace them. Also, there is a removal code you can obtain from your account page at the mog station. The tokens appear to be almost identical to RSA SecurID Tokens which have a battery life of 5-6 years. As long as you keep an eye on the token, you should have plenty of time to replace it.
