njan, your wrong.[sic] securenvoy does not install any software on mobile phones, I believe you are thinking of swivel which is software based |

Turn ANY GSM mobile phone into an authentication token by texting one time passcodes No Additional Hardware Token required. No End User Hardware deployment costs. Innovative approach solves the problems with SMS delays and temporary loss of signal without having to have software installed on mobile phones. Pre-sending the next required passcode after authentication gives plenty of time for the user to receive the next 6 digit passcode. If the end users mobile phone is temporarily out of range, switched off or the mobile phone provider is busy, the SMS message is stored and re-tried regularly for typically up to 4 days until it is successfully sent to the users phone. |

Also I am more likely to look after my £300 mobile phone rather than a crappy dongle, plus I have a work mobile any way so if I can do away with the dongle great. One less thing to carry and lose. |

Not only that, software in available to secure and encrpyt the contents of the mobile, if anybody attempted to crack the passsword to get into the phone then the device is wiped after a certain amount of failed attempts. And the passcode is gone. |

Lastly, most serious enterprise companies/employees rely heavily on mobile phones to conduct business activities, so these devices are gonna be protected from unauthorised access, encrypted etc. So using this device for two factor authentication makes sense. |
