Apricot QI Infra-Red Two Factor Authentication Security Transmitter The Qi included a unique security system that used two-factor authentication in the form of a handheld infra-red transmitter (The common description was 'looks like a pregnant credit-card') that could be registered to the user's login details, and had to be pointed at the computer and activated to confirm the user's identity. Once the novelty had worn off, I never saw the thing actually used.
