You have to love Open Source stuff even when there’s a company behind it. We use this awesome two-factor authentication software from WiKID Systems and really it’s fantastic. We use it to provide one time passwords to almost every system we use. We never like any client-based thing that makes us have to have Java installed so the lovely and talented Steve McMaster decided to do something about it. WiKID, being Open Source made that very easy. He figured out how the existing client worked and rewrote it in Python. I probably would’ve picked a good language but that is irrelevant (j/k I’m getting to know and like Python quite a bit).

So here we give you PyWiKID . Here is what the WiKID folks had to say . If you haven’t entertained replacing your RSA infrastructure with software tokens I would encourage you to do so.
