Any thoughts on this device? At first glance, it doesn't seem
particularly impressive...

Lovely idea of two-factor authentication:
The user then enters their user name (something they know) and the
8-digit Quizid passcode (something they have) into the login screen
of their application.

Excerpt from the BBC article:
Users are issued with a card and a personal code, based on a set of
colour keys on the card. Each time they wish to conduct a secure
transaction, they punch in the colour code and a random number is
generated.
