It took us months to change our TeamCity builders that no longer could use a copy of the .pfx signing certificate.
The builders now send the files to be signed to a "Signing PC" which has the USB dongle with the EV token.
I also had to write a signing application to automate signing as we did not want to sign files manually.

 Thanks for confirming my fears! 
I'm the only person here building/signing/deploying, so the only problem will be keeping up with the dongle when I travel. Of course, I don't know what I'm up against with the automation part of things yet...if it can be scripted like signtool, then it shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

It is a hassle I'm afraid, there is no official documentation on how to automate signing with an EV token. I only found a useful tip on StackOverflow after much searching. I don't have it at hand at the moment, tomorrow I wil send you the link.

Automate Extended Validation (EV) code signing with SafeNet eToken
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17927895/automate-extended-validation-ev-code-signing-with-safenet-etoken[^]
signtool sign /f mycert.cer /csp "eToken Base Cryptographic Provider" /k "[{{TokenPasswordHere}}]=KeyContainerNameHere" myfile.exe
To speed up the process and sign multiple files with timestamp in a directory I use this:
string pw = @"[{{MyPassword}}]";
string signToolMs = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\App Certification Kit\signtool.exe";
string command = $"sign /fd sha256 /tr http://timestamp.sectigo.com /td sha256 /f \"z:\\Certificate.cer\" /csp \"eToken Base Cryptographic Provider\" /k \"{pw}=Sectigo_12345678\" file1.exe file2.dll";
ProcessRun(signToolMs, command, dirName);

I am not allowed to post instructions, however , I hope it is OK to post suggestion.
I have been watching too many "spaghetti western movies " - strictly as a needed break from drudgery of coding.
Their plots are not very imaginative - most of them have fists fights in local saloon.
And that, sometime whisky induced brawl, what promoted this vent.
This subforum , in my opinion, is turning into verbal fistfights by few illiterate, "me first" , outlaws and my hope is it will not end with OK corral style gun fight.

Warning. Someone is posting strange messages and signing your name to them.

Sure it is! But alas, this is not the place. Try, Bugs and Suggestions[^]. Keep trying, you'll get there.

suggestion - do not take life so seriously
and ( your comment ) is "illogical" - as Spock would say.
The suggestion was about "the lounge"
why hide it somewhere else ?

According to your profile, you've been here for less than a year and you're suggesting how this show should be run.
This is a terrible way to try to endear yourself and rally the troops, some of which have been for more than two decades, to support your cause (whatever it may be).
Whatever you think the lounge is "turning into", let me point out that throughout its history, people have come and gone, yet the lounge remains.

I prefer Lounge to Saloon. Saloon is just too "low-brow" for me. If you really want to change the name, consider Salon. The online The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition defines this as follows:
Quote: salon /sə-lŏn′, săl′ŏn″, să-lôɴ′/
noun- A large room, such as a drawing room, used for receiving and entertaining guests.
- A periodic gathering of people of social or intellectual distinction.
- A hall or gallery for the exhibition of works of art
- ...
The only problem with this is it make salon.com upset.

In a "Saloon" you interact with your beer
and can become less inhibited because of no guidelines
other participants will toss you out
In a "Lounge" you interact with other people
and are respectful of the guidelines for that Lounge
lack of respect for the guidelines other participants will
ask you to leave

There are TWO old sayings
if you cannot say something nice , DO NOT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL
better remain silent and be taken for a fool, or speak up and remove all doubts
(stolen from Samuel Clements )
Let's see how many of you saloon beer and whiskey drinkers will turn this on me...

Well, today is my 90th. What happened to the time?
tl:dr Happy Birthday to me.
I was thinking about what significant developments I have seen. The power of smartphones pales in comparison to some.
Indoor plumbing, yes there were still outhouses back in the day.
I recall WWII, especially the end. Gold stars in the windows. Never be another generation like that.
My father participated in a program named something like bundles for Britain. He made a lifelong snail mail (priceless) friend.
Vaccines (sorry anti-vaxers). My best friend through high school died of Polio.
Medicine: Antibiotics, cancer treatments (my mother died of leukemia, the treatment back then was "eat a lot of red meat"), today's surgery techniques (Wow). Much more. Now AI?
Our first television, 1948, black and white, largest screen available: 10". Weighed a ton. Watched the world series.
Power steering, power brakes and automatic transmissions.
EV's? Won't go there.
My first "computer experience", actually an accounting system, 7 words of core memory, vacuum tubes (valves for you right ponders) could only add, subtract and multiply. People ran payroll on it. Slow? you bet.
My first experience with a computer monitoring open heart surgery patients. 1970.
etc, etc, etc.
Just a Thought:
A Keeper
Their marriage was good, their dreams focused.
Their best friends lived barely a wave away.
I can see them now,
Dad in trousers, tee shirt and a hat and Mom in a house dress,
lawn mower in one hand, and dish-towel in the other.
It was the time for fixing things.
A curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress.
Things we keep.
It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy.
All that re-fixing, eating, renewing,
I wanted just once to be wasteful.
Waste meant affluence.
Throwing things away meant you knew there would always be more.
But then my mother died, and on that clear summer's night,
in the warmth of the hospital room,
I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more.
Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away...
never to return.
So... While we have it... it's best we love it...
And care for it.... And fix it when it's broken.....
And heal it when it's sick.
This is true...
For marriage....
And old cars....
And children with bad report cards.....
Dogs and cats with bad hips....
And aging parents....
And grandparents.
We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.
Some things we keep.
Like a best friend that moved away or a classmate we grew up with.
There are just some things that make life important,
like people we know who are special....
And so, we keep them close!
I received this from someone who thinks I am a 'keeper',
so I've sent it to the people I think of in the same way...
Good friends are like stars....
You don't always see them, but you know they are always there
People are made to be Loved
and Things are made to be Used
There is so much confusion in this World because
People are being Used
and
Things are being Loved.
Be kind... everyone you meet is fighting a terrible battle.
Thanks for being part of MY life!

Happy birthday.
I experienced some but not all, just a whippersnapper 75.
If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

Yup. If I had known I would live this long, I would have taken better care of myself 
Started out with Assembler and Fortran (only choices back in the day).
Now, I can't keep up so I cobble together Python scripts.
Fortunately, Chris's GPAI does what I need for our 14 cameras and Blue Iris.
