Hey Osywn

are you logging in to all your accounts at the same time.. then entering each Auth number one at a time?

or are you logging on to each accout one at a time and then putting in a Auth number for that account before moving on to the next account?

Each Auth number only has a 60 sec life span, before a new one is generated. So if you log all your accounts at the same time you need to use the same Auth number for all of the accounts. This should be easily done by what ever keybrodacasting program you are using.

Yeah I wasn't very clear at all in my post, head was somewhere else. Yes, I was logging into all accounts at once using password and then entering a newly generated auth number for each account. The first login worked. But the rest did not. The only way I could get it to work is to login with password and auth one account at a time.

There is a way they could make all this work well for us and not compromise security. They could use the same system as the bank of america eink creditcard fob. There is no internal clock or 30second windows. You press the button, it spits out a key. You press it again it spits out the next key. The server does a "calibration" the first time you set it up asking you to enter 2 keys back to back, this lets it know where it is on the 'chain'. I suppose if you press the key a bunch of times incrementing the number without actually entering it to the server, this could cause it to lose its place and it would have to recalibrate. I have never had that happen yet. Is this system the way the iphone app works?
