I have an RSA token for logging in to my brokerage accounts. It can be a pain.

My work laptop has an RSA soft-token which accepts a PIN and generates a 10 digit code to connect to the VPN. When in the office, I only need my user name and password.

It's a good thing I can remember numbers better than names.
