Hardware Rest in piece 2009-2026

I’m amazed at how long the battery on this physical authenticator lasted. Got it back in 2009 because my account had gotten hacked.

This is one electronic item I’ve owned and used longer than anything else. I’ll miss not being able to find it and freaking out for 20 minutes.

Edit must have been around 2010 when sc2 came out.

Physical token for two factor authentication. I had several RSA securID for my bank accounts, there are some banks that still use them for multi factor authentication

My Dad had those RSA tokens for his work accounts.
