    Physical tokens have been compromised before ever hear of SecureID or Blizzard: http://www.secureworks.com/cyber-thr...rsacompromise/

    The SecureID one was HUGE. Lots of businesses used it. They weren't visiting dodgy sites either. So the token is nice, but not 100% protected. Just ask those millions affected by SecureID.

    I do understand its not 100% safe but it will help protect against hacks which is the main point im trying to portray, if you are responsible about your own protection then you will get one and not just rely on chance that SE will always be secure, your security is your own responsibility
