 Key fob - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A fob may be the shape of a symbol or a small representation of an object, or it may be functional itself, such as a small flashlight, calculator, penknife, or bottle opener are common.
A key fob is a decorative item which many people carry with their keys, on a ring or a chain, often to provide a better grip or to simply make a personal statement.
Early electric key fobs operated using infrared, so they needed a clear line of sight, and could be copied using a programmable remote control.

 key fob - a Whatis.com definition
A key fob is a type of security token: a small hardware device with built-in authentication mechanisms.
The key fob (and similar devices, such as smart cards) provide two-factor authentication: the user has a personal identification number (PIN), which authenticates them as the device's owner; after the user correctly enters their PIN, the device displays a number which allows them to log on to the network.
Because a key fob is a physical object, it is easy for the owner to know if it has been stolen.

Former Gov. Fob James, perhaps the only figure in Alabama political history to have espoused more discredited legal theories than Roy Moore, has joined the suspended chief justice's effort to have Attorney General Bill Pryor disqualified as the prosecutor in Moore's trial before the Court of the Judiciary.

During the tenure of Governor Fob James, the government of the State of Alabama defended the practice of officially sponsored prayer in the school, in the face of clear Supreme Court precedent holding such practices unconstitutional.
Terming James' argument a "fruitless challenge to the contemporary constitutional order," Rosen and Baum noted in their letter to Siegelman that a previous Alabama governor, George Wallace, made the same argument a decade ago in a silent prayer case, which lost in both the Eleventh Circuit and the Supreme Court.
Governor James (who, pointedly, was not joined in this argument by the Attorney General in his appeal) is pressing the argument in the court of appeals.
