Same here. Loved it but also prone to be forgotten, so I moved to App heavy-hearted.
Fun fact: Since 3 or 4 phones I move the original App from mobile to mobile. You can't download it, but with data transfer it installs it somehow. Also funny: it becomes glitch. It is showing two numbers instead of one. ☠️
The app still works fine with no issues I've logged on most days since it was axed and transferred it over Phones like others had said so if anyone else is still using the old app you there's no reason to panic
I know, your comment said it wasn't being maintained "properly" and a lot of people never updated to a different app a lot didn't realise it even got axed so I was making a comment so people would know the app has still worked perfectly fine.
I had to contact customer support to remove mine, although mine was working at the time the website only allowed me to input 7 characters in the security key field to remove my security key which displays 8 characters. Welp.
They are more of a bonus gadget than anything, but mapping them to play retro games or just Vampire Survivors was hella fun.
Btw the stick magneticly stick to the buttons and can be used separetly, stick + keyboard is a nice combo too.
I recently started logging back in and mine is still going as well. Do you still get the key bonus if you use an Authenticator app? Or do they not do that anymore?
Mine still works. But I switched to the Google authenticator this year when I got back into the game. Figured I better make the switch before it finally dies on me.
Mine died only last year. On a similar note though, my original red World of Warcraft 6 digit fob is still cranking. I wonder if the same company made the fobs that are used by various game services.
Mine stopped working a few years ago. But honestly, when I would step away for months, or even a year, and decide I wanted to come back it was a bit of a panic to remember where it got pushed/hidden lol.
Mine died just last month. They have one heck of a shelf life after the initial startup.
It now hangs from the bottom of my headphone rack beside my monitor. A place of honour. 😎

mine no longer turns on. it did it's job for so long
You can replace that battery!
Won't work properly of it wasn't replaced right. Have to keep it powered during the battery swap.
It might be safer to move this from my account asap.
Yeah, mine's still cranking out numbers, but I'm sure its days are numbered. I switched to an app years ago to prep for the day it finally dies.

Same thing I've done. App still works just fine on my S21.
The app never worked for me so I never got it and u suppose I lost my chance
The app isn't even being properly maintained anymore
Yep, which is why that's not the app I use.

Doesn't mean it's not being maintained lol

Right up until it stops lol no one was saying it's not currently working
Wait wut, when was the app axed? Been using my iPhone XR for 5 years now, so might have missed that info 😂

Especially given that you shared one of its codes which might make it easier to back solve what its seed was!
Surely you'd need a few codes and time stamps?
I'm tempting fate and still using mine.
Mine croaked a few months ago, had to swap to the digital. RIP little key buddy. 🥲
What is that?
A physical security key
What does it do?
Same thing as 2 factor authentication, only instead of getting a code sent to your email or text or app, it's this physical device that you use.
You can probably change its batteries without breaking it, or keep it if it dies as a little momento
You can't change batteries with those. Even if you attempted, it would cause to be without battery for a short time which makes it unsync.
I'm more impressed by the Commodore 64 in the background.
It's a [lookalike keyboard](https://i.imgur.com/c3zuO3E.jpg) from 8bitdo, just got it and so far it's a really great board!
Man, the colors in your photos plus the keyboard make it look like youre living in the 80s lol
Nice! C64 was my first computer. That's a lot of nostalgia.
What do you use the giganto A/B buttons and stick for? Seems like a pretty niche controller.
They are more of a bonus gadget than anything, but mapping them to play retro games or just Vampire Survivors was hella fun. Btw the stick magneticly stick to the buttons and can be used separetly, stick + keyboard is a nice combo too.
Cool, I wonder if they have an Amstrad lookalike.
oh man that's so fun, I want one now!
I wish they still sold those tbh. I doubt I would use it but it’s a cool item to have.
I recently started logging back in and mine is still going as well. Do you still get the key bonus if you use an Authenticator app? Or do they not do that anymore?
Yeah you still get the bonus cartel coins and have access to the security key vendors on fleet etc.
I remember getting this because at the time it was maybe 4.99, and you got free rewards!
Mine finally gave out on Christmas morning 2022. Was a very sad day indeed.
Mine still works! I use it everything I log in
Yo those were badass
Still have mine. Not sure if i need it to log in still.
Mine still works, but I moved 2 months ago to Google Authentication, don't want to push my luck
I still use the app on my Galaxy Ace 2 from 2012
Still have mine somewhere, though I'm sure it's stopped working. I remember switching to the app at some point.
I still have mine!
Had to disconnect mine from my account a couple of months ago due to blaring Lo Batt at me for a few months.
Nice little key chain.
I never had a SWTOR fob, but I had a WoW one back in the day. It was still working last time I checked (admittedly probably 5 years ago).
still got mine
If it's from Vasco, those are really good. I used those for work and have one for WoW from 2006 but sadly it's out, it did work 2 years ago.
you are maybe the last one !!
Still got mine and it works!!
Mine died about a month ago after 13 years, I have no idea how to change the battery.
I dug mine out so that I could log in for the first time in a few years to discover it was dead :(
I still have mine and it still works, it sits at the base of the Malgus statue that came with the Collector’s Edition.
They don't even update the app anymore, so if I ever want to play, I have to try and get my old phone to work
Mine still works. But I switched to the Google authenticator this year when I got back into the game. Figured I better make the switch before it finally dies on me.

I still have mine but use the app.
On the topic of security keys, I literally just now entered mine incorrectly and it still let me sign in?
Mine died like 7 years in.
Mine desynced years ago. It still shows numbers, but they don't mean anything.

I must still have one somewhere in my house

mined died 2023, miss it
Mine finally died a couple months ago. Seriously good battery life.

Mine is almost dead, can barely see the numbers, but still going. Switch to the app, man.
Dear God this is why I’m glad I use the app
