Looking at their website I like that things like pricing for domains are 
actually available! And not hidden behind first-year teaser prices.

Looking at their stuff on setting up a Yubikey?it actually looks clear, 
confirms that they will spit back recovery codes (Squarespace didn't 
make that clear) and looks like I can configure more than one Yubikey 
(Squarespace was not at all clear on this).

If I understand correctly DNS (via cloudflare) is included.

I think I will move my next-to-expire domain over first. It isn't in 
use, so a safe test case.

Yes, I consider a functional UI a feature! No HTML5 glitz is a good thing.

Yes.


Mostly I think two-factor is a bad thing that only makes my personal 
life less secure, but this case looks different, they seem to be doing 
it right. And making domain management a tad more cumbersome is a good 
thing and the whole point in this case.


Thanks,

-kb, the Kent who thinks he finally has a use for the two Yubikeys that 
were left over from a previous employer.


P.S. Finally installed ykman-gui and I can play with these Yubikeys, 
reset them back to apparently original state, etc.
