I think the paypal football <https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/cps/securitycenter/general/PPSecurityKey-outside> is more likely to catch on as a personal security feature. You log in with your account id, password and the random appearing number. Paypal is a cheap source for these at $5.00 but these are from verisign and function for any business signed up for the Verisign service. There is a good discussion of these on the Security Now podcast episode 103-<http://www.grc.com/SecurityNow.htm>.
The Security Now podcasts for the perfect password system offer a system for a rolling password system that prints out onto a business card sized list of a bunch of passwords that you use sequentially. This would be good to prevent having a password being swiped because they are all use once and appear to be random.
