I've recently signed up for a free account with Duo Security 
(http://www.duosecurity.com/) to test out on my home systems, while I consider 
whether or not I want to explore further uses. It's another perspective on 
two-factor authentication with a token, where the token is your phone or mobile 
device.

I haven't had time yet, but am hoping to get to implement it for SSH access to 
all my linux systems at home, starting with the one that's internet-facing.
