Symantec VIP Card Authenticator - OTP Display Token - Second Factor Authentication - Event Based HOTP - Credit Card Size

Wanted to replace the android app provided by Fidelity. No instructions, but not needed. One call to Fidelity to change the code (on back of card). Tested while on phone with the rep. Worked perfectly. Well satisfied with card.

There is no way to use this card for personal use. A company has to have a VIP manager subscription, and your company issues the credentials. Then you can register the card.

I like this because I don't have to have an app on my phone, so I can still log in if I lose or break my phone. It is credit card sized, so it fits nicely in my wallet.

It's an excellent product. I use it with my schwab account. It's the highest level security which is possible to get on the market.

I bought four of these at different times over 2022 and 2023 to secure my ETrade account. Two of the cards are working fine today in mid 2024. One card that I carried in my wallet worked for a few months and then would no longer power on. When I pulled out the fourth card, it was lifeless while still new in the package. It seems like some of the cards I received were old stock with already depleted batteries.Symantec tokens can be generated using the Python "python-vipaccess" library. I have switched to those using my default authenticator application, and just treat these cards as a failsafe now.

Is there no way to set a pin to unlock the card?

The battery on my 5-year-old card is low. This card replaced it. Worked on PayPal first time.

The credential ID starts with FT11. This ID is not accepted by the Symantec VIP test site nor is it accepted by E-Trade. This makes the card worthless to me.Update: I had E-Trade send me a hardware token. It was the TOTP keychain version and the credential ID starts with FT20. This ID was accepted by the Symantec VIP test site and by E-Trade.
