If you want to get the most out of this, use a hardware token generator instead of a phone or computer. Example:

That looks like a software generator running on Arduino.

I stand corrected. The device is more of a physical/hardware token generator than a phone or computer in that it's stand-alone. Phones with radios permanently switched off or computers without network access are probably as secure.
