Hope that nobody minds this ...
Github and Yubico are pushing 2-Factor Authentication by making it VERY
cheap. $5 for a device + shipping and handling. Limit 2; having 2 is a
"best practice" to avoid issue if you loose one when traveling.
The offer:

-------
I ordered 2 - total cost was $15 including shipping.
An unvalidated list of websites claiming support for the U2F protocol:

Only downside that I know is Google Chrome or Chromium browsers are
required. Doesn't work with Firefox. There appears to be some udev setup
required as well.
Anyway - cheap protection against phishing and replay attacks for some
online websites.
