[lug] WARNING! My Yahoo email account was hacked this morning!

[Davide Del Vento]

Cool thanks this wasn't there last time I checked (or I didn't check
hard enough). I will activate 2-step auth it as soon as I get my
(physical) wallet organized!

Still, I like https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/yubikey/
better (they have a one-time cost of about $20, which is very close to
free, at least for people in USA and EU). I like it for various
reasons, including its key form factor, but I'm not holding my breath
for any "big boy" implementing it.

Thanks,
Dav
