- zobzu 15y agoyeah, been using that for a while, and its quite handy. I want to switch to the cryptostick tho, because having a pinpad/reader around sux. don't you have one of those?
- mike-cardwell 15y agoMy laptop has a built in smart card reader, and my desktop has a USB one plugged in with a hardware pin-pad. The cryptostick does look cool. I've come across it before. I like the smart card because I can just pop it in my wallet like a credit card. You can also get keyboards with built in smart card readers, where the numeric keypad has a mode to operate as a hardware pin pad (rather than sending the keypresses to the computer) I'm thinking of getting one of these at some point.
