If I read the specs right this http://yubico.com/home/index/ allows
have and use a password that you need never know and which can be
easily destroyed (http://www.yubico.com/developers/static/ seems to
say that if you press the button for 10 seconds the password is
replaced by another random one.). The mere possession of one of these
devices would seem to allow you to plausibly clam that you cannot
comply with the request to disclose the password.
