Instead of using your phone and the Authenticator app, you carry around a physical key. U2F and WordPress Security I wanted to give it a go on my site. So I purchased a YubiKey of my own. Seeing as this was an experiment and I am not super technical I wasn’t ready to attack manual set up. I searched for a free plugin option on WordPress.org.  Th...
