There are some updates that are about to hit f8-updates-testing that may
help you out here.  Except of course if your upstream authentication
method changes, which you have just found out.

I thought that the Fedora vpnc packages supported not saving the
passwords to the keyring, which would have the dialog come up for every
connect.  That would allow you to enter your OTP token in each time.
Maybe run gnome-keyring-manager and remove the VPN-related passwords
from your keyrings?
