What were the requirements to get a free one?
If you had an active order to purchase BTC at the time of the breach.. you are eligible.
where do you request for one?

I also got a free one a while back, have to say I can really sleep at ease now even with significant $$ or BTC stored in the account.
Spent time researching how feasible it is to crack Yubikey authentication, seems to be very infeasible so I trust it for now.
Negative side, it's bound to Mt. Gox so you can't use it as a normal YK on any other site.

Not really that negative from a security standpoint.. I have evaluated the Yubikey solution and can confirm that a higher degree of both security and functionality is possible when it is used in a site specific fashion.

I had a trade nullified by the rollback after the hack.

Definately worth having if you're involved in high volume trading there. I'll probally buy one soon cause I'm pretty paranoid after the previous cluster §$%¤
Glad to hear you got your free Yubikey from mtgox. They look cool I am thinking of buying one.
It's little, the "up" side (when plugged into my MacBook Pro) has a small copper circle that you press.
When logging in you press it for 1/2 second. When you release, it sends a string of text to the MtGox "Yubikey" input field.
I have not done a withdrawal yet, but my understanding is that you press it for 3 seconds (instead 1/2 a second), and it sends a different string.
When you first plug it in, OS X thinks it's a keyboard, but you can just cancel out of that, and it works fine.
With this, I'm confidant that my MtGox account is safe from hackers. Is my MtGox account safe from MtGox? I don't know, but they have all the volume, so they have me for now.
