Indeed, but what else would combine practical, light-weight, cheap and avoid you disclosing more information to Blizzard than a customer using game cards currently submits? Aside from USB dongles (though last time I checked they were twice or thrice more expensive), I currently don’t see anything.

I might miss the forest because of the tree, though.

SecureID has always been clunky technology.

Better than nothing though.
