Cell phones, key fobs, smart cards, the lot. At a prior gig we got a chance to test out some "ruggedized" RSA tokens. I had three users return theirs, irreparably broken, within a week.


What are "the passwords needed to make those little things usable?" A
password for the phone?

Yes. Some kind of code or password that makes the device function as a security token such that simple theft doesn't completely compromise the security of the system.

Bluetooth proximity is not dependent on the phone being password
protected.

Then your system is no better than writing a password on a post-it note. It's actually worse; a post-it note isn't likely to be dropped and broken, nor is it likely to run out of power and stop working.
