Ah, good point.  So now there will be much more opportunity for them to 
be stolen and not missed for a while.  Plus, it will probably be harder 
to refute the transaction, since it was done with a much more secure 
authentication method.  (Granted, it does make the theft less useful 
more of the time, since you should ideally need the name, password AND 
token.  We'll see how that plays out.)
