Nice job on authentication. A question arises for me, though. I can understand the cost of Yubikey and email authentication falls to the user. But how much do you estimate the SMS will cost you as a fixed cost? Back-of-the-envelope calculation would say that the cost shouldn't be onerous, but I don't know how frequently your userbase logs in anew. Have you arranged a bundle or do you pay per message still? Pardon the questions and feel free to ignore them if I am prying. Thanks.

I found the part about yubikey to be the most interesting. I was not previously aware of it. What a fantastic alternative to the standard RSA LCD display key. The implementation as a keyboard is pure genius.

Random thing not mentioned in the blog post: If you use the dvorak layout, you don't need to change to qwerty before hitting the button on your yubikey. It gets automatically parsed and converted.
