I went down the chipTAN road and ordered one device. I agree, the paper-list with iTAN codes would have worked well enough if people just don't let them getting stolen. But if they abvandon the procedure now, then there is little you can do, except quitting online banking.

I maybe would have stopped it if I needed to depend on a cellphone for it. I don't like more and more things being delegated to cellphones, and paying with cellphones via bluetooth is one of the things I hate most. It'S even more a dematerialisation of people'S sense for money, than plastic-cards are. Not to mention security concerns.
