I like my smartcards. Bummed they didn't catch on. How do you feel about losing the PIN and using a password? I like how, if I'm at my desk using a hardware PIN pad, it's much less likely i'll have problems.

For SSH, it's fine. The hardware PIN pad does not show which server I'm logging into, so it adds little extra security.
