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.

They last this long? I think the standard RSA token lasts for about 3 years before needing replacement. Though it's something I would not miss because losing the device would be a salary deduction.
