Well, much safer than a fixed password.

You can't do anything with the sheet alone if you don't have the user's ID.
Granted, it's not impossible to acquire both, but if you don't store your
ID anywhere and instead have it memorized, it becomes difficult. (Basically
they would need to install some spyware in the computer you are using in
order to get the ID, and then physically steal the passcode sheet. Not
impossible, but not likely to happen.)

How does that even work?
