[QUOTE="Orchid, post: 1025069, member: 98800"] [USER=96829]@piquiteco[/USER], I never really heard about YubiKey until recently and didn't know what it was until researching it yesterday. Thank you for mentioning it to me. [USER=3]@Ink[/USER], I use Netflix consistently, and Netflix doesn't have any account security, as far as I'm aware.

I will do some research and get back to you on that. [USER=57429]@Zero Knowledge[/USER], Maybe/Maybe not. YubiKey does have vulnerabilities too. The YubiKey validation server is cloud-based. If a hacker can get to the server, it might be game over, and you have to trust the company won't do any suspicious activity.
