For me if the text hadn't been copied verbatim then I would be inclined to agree with your points.
hackthisuk··on Strengthening 2-Step Verification with Security Key
It still supports USB it just adds NFC, so you can still use it on your desktop/laptop - https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/yubikey-neo...

hackthisuk··on HelloJS – Client-side OAuth for JS
Using client-side script to restrict access is a big no from a security stand point. From what I have read this library is intended to interact with third party services rather than for access. E.g. pulling in photos, contacts etc

hackthisuk··on Ask HN: What password manager do you use?
One of the nicest I have tried so far. Unobtrusive and easy to use. I have put the keystore on an encrypted USB which solves nearly all my problems.

One question, I can't find what the trial is. Is it time based?

hackthisuk··on Ask HN: What password manager do you use?
Portability is one of my main concerns as I use a variety of platforms e.g. Linux at home, Windows at work and Android on the go. I would also be a little hesitant to trust a hosted solution. SuperGenPass (www.supergenpass.com) seemed like a nice solution but I am concerned about what happens when I need to change password.

Does Yubikey have a solution for Android? They seem right up my street.

hackthisuk··on Ask HN: What password manager do you use?
I was put off a bit by the requirement of Mono for Linux but I see there is a port called KeePassX. This might be a nice compromise.
