I wouldn't be willing to spend the extra cach on security for an AOL account -- at least not monthly. Maybe I'd go for a one time setup fee, but a monthly charge? No. This whole idea only protects those who are, shall we say, "naive" enough to give out their passwords to phishers to start with. If people are security conscious enough to want this device, chances are they won't fall for the phishing scheme anyway. For the price you pay for AOL anyway, they should include this as a free default option for everyone. Aside from that, the idea and technology behind it seems great.
