Quote from Fractals 'R Us:

A hacker would need physical access to your computer, and your password if you log out every time you stop using the services.

they would also need access to your phone (if that's how you're getting the two way authentication codes). i get them on my rimm which is password protected itself so it's impossible to get the code unless someone breaks in and puts a gun to my head but at that point i guess i'd have bigger probs than worrying that someone will now be able to find out that i'm on jack hershey's email distribution list

Most organizations have done this for over a decade using RSA SecurID tokens. I wouldn't doubt if some brokers have also used them.

There was a compromise in 2011.
