[Cryptography] YubiKeys / FIDO / U2F ??

If I'm not mistaken, Microsoft is publicly saying they will support FIDO in
JavaScript in IE by the end of this year.  I am not aware of the details,
but in theory this could enable web sites other than Microsoft to provide
device-based security somewhere between a Yubikey and what we have today.

Yubikey based FIDO should be awesome for enterprise situations, but I doubt
we'll see widespread end-user adoption.  What do you think of the Microsoft
effort?
