"stupid how? Because it actually manages to provide a little security?"

They're fine if you only ever doing online ordering at home, but it gets annoying when you've got the availability of internet connections at work and on the move, but you can't place an order because the damn fob is on your desk at home. I wouldn't mind as much if they let you have more than one of them, either the fobs or the little card readers, at least then you could keep one at home and one at work (or other second location of choice) but last I heard none of the banks will let you.
