I have the token that came with the collector's edition of A Realm Reborn. It asks for the pin every time I log in game, forums, Lodestone, Mogstation and Square Enix site from a page linked to FFXIV (like tickets and contacting customer rep). You can also replace the battery in the tokens and it'll still continue to function. If you lose the token, though, you'll need to contact someone to have it removed from the account. Once it's removed, you cannot use it again (say you found it later). I just leave it on a hook on the wall when I don't need it since I play FFXIV from a desktop and have no reason to port it around.

How is that possible? I still have the same security token from 1.0 in early 2010 and we entered in 2017 now and still working... how come you ran out of batteries twice is beyond me lol

Answering the OP, I use my physical security token since beginning. Having security token brings a lot advantages. Aside of more security to your account make you being able to login from anywhere in any pc or plataform (If you don't have you need to grant access by confirm in your mail if not mistaken which is a pain in the ass). In the forum you just need to login once and keep logged in check up but time to time reset and when that happen you bring your token and redo again and then can keep at home.

How is that possible? I have been using the token for 2 years and have not run out of battery yet on my first one.

That's crazy, I still have the token I got when they first released it for FFXI!

In XI, I had a friend that got hacked into. They stole all his items and gil and then transfered him to another server to use as a fishing bot. It took a month before everything was straightened out and he could play again.

Bottom line, it may be a pain having to have the token all the time but it's 100% worth the security.
