I wouldn't comment the attack on RSA SecurID, but I disagree that a
single password is stronger than password + OTP.

The principle of the 2-factor auth is that the attacker has to break
two auths rather than only one. So even if you break RSA SecurID, the
hacker still has to break your ultra secure GitHub-only password ;-)
