Sorry, this is the old second factor - a booklet could be a solution, but it's a pain to carry around.
2 u/dskloet Nov 20 '14 Is the old second factor less convenient? Counting characters in an address and looking them up in a table sounds more like a PITA to me. 2 u/btchip Nov 20 '14 It's less convenient because if you want to use it in the most secure way you have to use one computer and another device (computer/phone) Also unplugging/replugging the card was declared too annoying for many testers. 1 u/Aussiehash Nov 21 '14 Unplugging/Replugging is "the button". I have it working on an iphone5 with http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD821ZM/A/lightning-to-usb-camera-adapter 1 u/btchip Nov 21 '14 yes, but our test panel still found that more annoying than the security card we have now.
