OPIE is not designed to protect against a stolen password list; it is
designed to protect against replay attacks.

With a key calculator, there is no password list to steal - but you need
to make sure that nobody can sniff or shoulder-surf the password you
type into the calculator.  I know of at least one Java ME key calculator
that will run on most Java-enabled smartphones.  Unfortunately for Apple
otakus, this does not include the iPhone, but the good news is that they
can get a real phone for considerably less money.
