    Thank Gods for the security card, then.

    Do they still force high net account holders to use the keyfob instead of the security cards?

    They have actually expanded coverage to smaller accounts. IB has three levels of security that is based based on account size -
    In order of security strength:

    1) "Bingo Card" - a manual lookup device

    2) "Silver" - Similar to the hacked RSA device but made by Secure Computing

    3) "Platinum/Gold" - A two level challenge response device also made by Secure Computing

    You can opt out of the program if you wish.
