Provide support for login with a Yubikey

[mvdkleijn]

Note: I'm not a Yubico employee, just an enthusiastic user.

The guys over at @Yubico have a great little product that can help secure the web for users. Its a one-time password token that's not too expensive for the average user to be able to afford.

I believe @gittip should allow people to link their Yubikey to their account after initial account creation. (similar to the ability to link an email address like in #89)

Technical overview of the Yubikey: http://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/yubikey/technical-description/

Integration libraries: http://www.yubico.com/develop/open-source-software/web-api-clients/

The 3rd party library list contains three python based libraries. I'm sure @Yubico would be willing to help with integration / questions as would I as soon as I have a little more time to spare and get into the authentication parts of the Gittip system.

I do not see how is this related to the infrastructure milestone.

I agree with @zwn.

Issues in focus include development infrastructure (tooling, testing, developer docs, refactoring, build and deployment) and administrative infrastructure (organizational processes, legal, finance). The guideline is that any user-visible change is out of focus.

I'm removing this one from Infrastructure.

Way beyond us right now. We're not MtGox.
