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.
