Hi,

For NodeWorx security, i suggest possibility to active “Two-factor authentication” with the help of a Yubikey.

I think that [Google authenticator](https://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator/) might be a better way to go.

No, just easier for people to activate, since you only need to install an app on your phone. you don’t need a physical key/token generator, since it’s right in your phone.

Last time I checked yubi, they only had physical keys/token generators
