This is very interesting. Is this Yubikey-compatible? http://www.amazon.com/Plug-up-International-U2F-SK-01-FIDO-S... Can I buy one of these to use with SSH auth/password programs/Chrome?

Some of YubiKey's products claim to be compatible with the U2F FIDO standard. https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/

Could we instead use smartwatch Bluetooth or NFC (probably better, I don't like the long range of Bluetooth for something like this) to unlock sites instead of these USB keys? Does the FIDO Alliance support such a protocol? I know Android 5.0 supports that but it's only for unlocking the phones (and Chromebooks I believe). But what about sites? Or is that too risky compared to an USB key?
