FWIW, the reviews on Amazon for these tokens are abysmal (soldered
battery w/ very short life, bad and not durable display, etc.) so
maybe just waiting a few months until most of those tokens are broken
will rid you of that requirement. ;)

I'm not aware of existing OATH HOTP support in the Shib IDP and
especially not of any implementations of whatever APIs AWS may offer
for OATH token verification (since you're stuck with their validation
service, lacking the tokens secret keys).
