- twawaaay 4y agoAny security mechanism is pretty much worthless if it can be trivially circumvented. So yes, the second part is pretty important Actually both parts are important, either is worth little without the other. Having well implemented hardware key is useless if you can't configure more than one -- too much risk having a single piece of hardware that if it fails or you loose it will lock you irrevocably from the account.
