Not so long ago I saw one of the employees of the treasury department with a shitload of those keychains.
Sound about right for a government. No apps, just physical fobs.
Well, they have a security advantage. I know Google moved over to requiring a USB MFA key for their employees a few years ago, and saw a reduction in successful phishing attacks.
I would imagine one of these fobs is cheaper than a USB key. It also can work without being plugged into a computer, which is good.
Authenticator apps are nice and all, but are not going to provide as much security as one of these. Apps live on people's phones, and especially if it's a personal phone, you may not want to trust its security. If it's stolen or hacked, your multi-factor authentication just got less secure.
If you don't want personal devices in a building as well, these are useful.
Lots of reasons these are still totally good today!
It's an insurance company.
