Thanks Brian,

The USB token from Comodo/Sertigo is effectively the same process. You 
still use signtool in a command line to sign, but then the Safenet 
Authentication Client pops up a dialog to have you manually enter the 
USB token password/PIN to grant access to the cert.

This is a change from the previous process that required no manual 
intervention. However, perhaps it is an industry wide change and 
something I will just have to live with.Sigh.
