It's not volume-related, and being "old school" has nothing to do with it either. Free Yubikeys are given to people who had a transaction rolled back back when prices dropped to $0.01

You, sir, are a bullshitter.

Read the post date - August 2011. It was true then, although it may be unrelated now. It's a shame that they have to give them away instead of people being smart enough to order them in the first place. They really don't cost much when you buy them, but it does cost mtgox a lot just to give them away en masse.

My understanding was that a MtGox Yubikey was a Yubikey with an AES key put into it by MtGox. Actually, that's two AES keys - one for the short press (logging in), and one for the long press (withdrawing funds).

AES is a symmetric algorithm - in this case, I understand this to mean that MtGox and the key know the same secret number.

That said, I don't understand how can a third party make use of a MtGox Yubikey without knowing that number?

I believe that you can validate against a given authentication server without needing to know the secret.

Edit: I take it back. As rjk points out below, this was an old, revived thread.

I got that email today also, looking forward to getting mine in the post

Even though they say it can only be used with Mt.Gox it looks like you can also use them with a blockchain.info wallet.

I received this email but I can't see where is this "Order a Yubikey" in the menu... Can anyone help?

Just click the Add Yubikey button wich is located in the security area.
Here you are able to buy a Yubikey where you enter the coupon code.
I acknowledge it's again pretty vague from Mtgox since the 'Order a Yubikey' button doenst exist in the security area.

I also got a email.
Not sure why they do this now.
Maybe they notice btc-e, bitstamp, bitfloor and intersango are pulling volume away.
And since they don't want that they are acting they feel sorry for the people who where in the leaked database list.

I got one also. I have been on there for quite a while. Perhaps it is volume related as to whom gets a key?
