Why the world needs two-factor authentication

Here is a great article about why passwords just don't cut it. mention of WiKID's two-factor authentication system. Too bad.

They do mention SecurID by RSASecurity as "Unfortunately the most well-known two factor authentication solution. Unreasonably expensive, not well supported on non-Windows platforms and generally not very flexible."

Who am I to argue?
