Would be good if next gen chromebooks have a bay on the bottom with a USB socket so you can leave one of these attached without it dangling off the side (and maybe permanently glued in by paranoid IT). Another trick might be NFC in the palmrests that can detect your watch . . . Looks like a solid step in the right direction though.

Yubikey's first offering that is U2F compatible is that bright blue USB key, but they have previously offered a USB key that is almost flush with the port, and the conductive contact is on the edge of it. I suspect they'll be updating that product to offer U2F soon, and it should be a better fit for what you are asking.

  The (expensive) Yubikey Neo Nano already supports U2F in the 'micro key' form-factor: http://www.amazon.com/Yubico-Y-110-YubiKey-NEO-n/dp/B00O8ST7MM/ http://www.amazon.com/Yubico-Y-110-YubiKey-NEO-n/dp/B00O8ST7... Hopefully they'll come out with a cheap U2F only nano-key soon.

  They already have with the neo-n: https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/ https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/ It does cost a bit more than the U2F-only version, however.

The next release of ChromeOS will include nearby/proximity unlock features integrated with Android L, which they're calling "Easy Unlock". There are a few somewhat-spammy blog summaries, e.g. http://www.omgchrome.com/chrome-os-smartphone-easy-unlock-feature/ http://www.omgchrome.com/chrome-os-smartphone-easy-unlock-fe...

https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/ https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/ It's a little pricier, but the Neo-N here will sit in a USB port and be more or less flush with the side.
