I hear you. I designed authy so that 1 token would work accross sites for this same reason.

Unfortunately its not technically possible for us to allow you to install RSA, Google in our App, as that would mean we would need access to their private seed, which they don't allow.

Is it really not possible?

Here is an example of a third party Blizzard app: http://code.google.com/p/winauth/
