First time I used a 2FA device was an RSA "Safeword Card" which looked like a small handheld calculator and would display a multi-digit code that changed every minute or so. This was in 1998 and it had been put into use before that.

- ams6110 9y agoYeah, you're right. The rotating number device (with no PIN entry) came later.
