Security Key Serial Number
Hello all, I've been a subscriber for a number of years now with a security key. I recently got a new android phone, so I downloaded the security key app on it. I launched the game but when I opened the app it required a serial number to verify my account. Now I've done some research and evidently you can find said serial number on your account page online... the problem is I can't get there because I need the security key to log in to my account. Any tips? Thanks in advance.

I know the security key is optional but I can't seem to figure out how to get one... I tried the in-game vendor but it wouldn't let me even access his stuff. Also, once you have one, how onerous is moving computer? and do you have to have it every time you log in?
tl:dr: security keys, how do they work?

There are three options:
Once you register a security key, the login prompt may still say it's optional, but no longer is at that point. Once a security key is registered, it must be used for all future logins.
Both types of keys display a 8 digit number that you type in yourself into the appropriate field in launcher login. It does not require any kind of USB connection or anything.
It is either a physical device (fits on a keychain, etc.) or an app on your mobile device. So it isn't really 'moved between' computers; just carried by you. Depending how heavy your mobile device is, and how weak your biceps are, it still shouldn't be much of a problem. :)
Once you login with a registered security key, you will then get access to the in-game security key vendor. Mostly it offers the ability to purchase with in-game credits some, but not all, of the items that come with Collector's or Digital Deluxe editions. See the short list here. 'Some examples of the items are the (popular so far) fleet pass which allows you to return to the fleet, a mouse droid (different skin from the Collector’s Edition item), Exchange Bandit (Increase movement speed by 110% Requires: Speeder Piloting Rank 3) and more.'
Also see the official site page describing the security keys.

First, let me point out that the security key is a physical thing, not an in-game item. It must be purchased (see Mufasa's answer for sources) or installed.
The 'security key' is an electronic security token (usually a keyfob), a self-contained, battery-powered device with a numeric display that will generate a new, cryptographically secure pseudorandom number every minute or so. They're meant to be portable, though they are a bit bulkier than a typical key:
'Cryptographically secure' means that, unlike a normal PRNG where given enough 'random' numbers, an attacker could quickly predict the next by determining the state of the generator, the number is run through an additional series of steps that effectively hide the state of the machine.

Swtor Serial Number For Security Key
If the security keys for this game work in the same way the security keys for other places work (World of Warcraft comes to mind), the key is tied to your account. You will need it every time you log in. However, uninstalling and reinstalling ('moving') the game should have no effect.

When I set a mobile security key, it only works one time. I have to remove it then use a new one if I want to access something in the game that I need a security key for. You can get a mobile app that gives you security key numbers that connect to your online swtor account that you then log in with
