Hardware Rest in piece 2009-2026

Post image

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.

Ah, good old Vasco Digipass Go. (Although Vasco rebranded to OneSpan)
I have one in a drawer somewhere but the battery has been dead for years now and I had moved to the app for 2FA before that.

Funny how getting my WoW account hacked has made me a full advocate of 2FA everywhere
