If you use the built-in protocol for server communication and only software tokens, it is even free of charge to use. The commercial version adds support for RADIUS communication to the server and cell phone based software tokens. There really is no excuse for not having two-factor authentication running with projects like this available.

It's the same as tokens but requires a cell phone instead so they wouldn't have to supply anything for their users. http://www2.telesign.com/solutions_twofactor_auth.php Just found a really interesting two-factor authentication service that Twitter might want to check out.
