I'm considering whether to go for hardware tokens or stick with software ones for my company. Hardware seems more secure, but it's a hassle to manage.

Hardware tokens from Protectimus as Two-Factor Authentication Methods indeed offer superior security due to their resistance to phishing and offline OTP generation. However, they require physical distribution and management. Software tokens provide flexibility and ease of use, accessible via mobile apps, making them simpler to manage across a workforce. If security is paramount, consider hardware for critical roles, but leverage software tokens for broader, less sensitive applications to balance security with manageability.

lean towards software tokens for ease of use, but for high-security needs, hardware tokens are unbeatable. They can't be replicated or intercepted like codes sent via SMS. It's about balancing security with practicality.
