    And your keys can be just as easily lost/stolen with your token attached to it. The app itself doesn't connect to the network (unless performing a restore/reset) and even if your phone were to be hacked, who would be doing that for the sole purpose of entering your XIV/XI account, or even bothering to figure out the account tied to the authenticator?
