I'm definitely a 'user' not an IT person.
We still have RSA keys for some uses though for the most part we use mobiles either to generate a key code or where you just confirm it's you logging in.
We were obliged to use them in the Civil Service. While working in the Quango I was sent one for our Chairman, a retired Cabinet Minister from the Thatcher/Major years. He and I tried all sorts of means to overcome its stubborn unwillingness to work. Eventually one of the brighter sparks on the helpdesk got me to check the token's serial number.
It was allocated to Mr X and not The Rt Hon LOrd Y of Z.
Tokens in wrong envelopes.......
