we've had one of our own hacked… RIP Stryker…

this little device could save all your efforts in the online relm

Security Tokens
A security token is a device that produces a constantly changing one-time password that can be displayed on-screen with the push of a button. Because the device is completely detached from any hardware requiring user authentication, it provides vastly improved security to the user.
One-time Passwords
A one-time password differs from a typical ID or password in that it is a 6-digit numeric code that is produced and displayed on the security token’s screen each time the token’s button is pushed.
One-time passwords are very effective against spyware such as key loggers in that they are only valid for a set period of time and become invalid after they have been used once.
Security tokens may be purchased through the Square Enix Account Management System. <- under one time passwords

That sucks, guess I'm never playing XI again, lol.

Did you ever find the post about what to do when it dies? I didn't see a place to pop in a new battery.
