Kobus, you're a bit of an arrogant prick aren't you? This thread is people making something simple very difficult. Instead of offering anything useful like helping people, you presented a completely useless piece of information that the numbers weren't the same on the app and the fob. All I stated was that it doesn't work like that. I'm not 'pretending' anything, I have a masters in computer science and worked in management level IT before flying. I didn't see the relevance of getting in to the technicalities of a hard/soft token authentication system which I understand perfectly well. It does use algorithms (128bit for the old RSA SecurID, not sure of all the details on the new one) but how it works isn't really relevant to this discussion is it?
I guess you're one of the 'Boeing/Airbus doesn't tell you this in the manuals, but..." types?
