They're also available to download for quite a few cellphones. I did, and I'm very happy with it. it cost 1/10th of the physical authenticator, and of course no shipping. You do need to go online with your phone for the first very quick run/setup, but after that it's all offline.

There is no shipping charged for the authenticator, just the cost of the item itself, which is $6.50.

There is tax, though. It came to $7.10 total. Again, so worth it. I feel much better/safer now that I got it.

I got the iPhone app, and it work like an happy clam :D
Yust to know that it is based on an code generated from the phone or something, so if you have it on youre account, and reinstalls the phone and dont restore from an backup, the authenticator dont work.
I learned this the hard way, I resored my phone, installed the app, and it dident work. (and you need an code to deactivate it too)
Galdly I got an backup, restored, got it working, took the authenticator off, reinstalled the phone, and added it again, all ok :)
