This is one of the neater uses for Android I've seen.
"Barada turns your phone into a two factor authentication device. It's
an implementation of the HOTP protocol in the form of a PAM module (the
server) and an Android applicaton (the client). Basically, in addition
to a normal password, users are also assigned a PIN number and a 128 bit
key. Every time you'd like to login using two-factor authentication, you
open up the Android application, type in your PIN number, and get back a
six character one time password that you can then use to authenticate
remotely."
