Windows 10 to give passwords the finger and dangle dongles

Re: FIDO offers alternatives to fingerprints

I've been using a YubiKey Neo for a while now.

I use it on my Android smartphone (NFC) to open my password safe - I need my password or PIN as well, but if the phone is stolen, nobody can get at my passwords; if I lose the YubiKey, I have a OTP at home to get back into my LastPass account.

It works over USB on my PC. I wouldn't be without it, and I can also set it up to be 2nd factor with my Windows logon, although I haven't yet.
