I'm using Google Authenticator, was a breeze to install and configure on
both my VPS and my phone. Haven't checked, but I kinda wish Windows had GA
auth support...

The only potential problem is that if I wipe my phone (to install a
different ROM, for instance), it's not particularly easy to automatedly
transfer the GA details to the new ROM, but as long as you keep a (written)
copy of the GA key, you can just reinstall and use the same key.
Kind regards
