Agree with all the comments on two-factor authentication that, for the most part, necessitates an exterior device. Two-factor/more complex authentication is fine, but it should never require a phone to complete. I'm aware that you can get a personal key, but -- if you haven't written down the most current iteration of that ever-changing key -- you're out of luck until you're able to access your cell phone again. This is just one more level of workiness layered on top of an already-complex system, and I'm guessing the number of qualified applicants bothering to apply for a given position will sharply decline, if they haven't already.

It's utterly ridiculous that I have to use my cellphone to receive a PIN to login on my government computer. I work in a classified facility where our phones must be turned off and stored before we enter the building. What's more, I live overseas and my phone number is a foreign number, which I cannot access except from this country (unless I incur $3.00 service charges per SMS message). If I'm traveling and I get a notification, I can't login to check my status until I return to my overseas station! That's just a plain stupid design. Lots of folks living abroad use this site, too. You need to fix this nonsense!
