About time!  Many companies already use this system for people logging in from home.  As long as you don't lose the key, it's a pretty much foolproof method of authentication... unless someone is watching your keystrokes live and logs on seconds after you.

The codes are one time use, after its used to login it deactivates. the only way to steal an account using this feature is to get the keyfob of that person.  (we use the system out at work too)

Oh, didn't realize it was also 1-time use, besides time-sensitive.

Then yes, this is THE foolproof way to prevent theft from keyloggers.  I suggest everyone in the guild get it when it's available.  I'm completely willing to pay $6.50 to prevent losing my whole account (remember Morgosh!?).

I didn't know that they went on sale so fast, but they're already sold out: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=7475467221&sid=1
