From memory, I think the WordPress plug-in still permits password authentication even when you configure it with a YubiKey. So if you lost the YubiKey, you just need to remember your password to get back in. That said, worst case is you can move the plug-in directory to disable it, then in your database:

Code:

SELECT user_id FROM wp_users WHERE user_login='your_login';
DELETE FROM wp_usermeta WHERE user_id=your_id AND meta_key LIKE 'yubikey%';

I set up the YubiKey plug-in on my blog initially, but then when I got OpenID going with two-factor authentication, I decided to disable YubiKey authentication on my user login and use OpenID instead. Rather, I use password authentication when I'm at home (and thus, only 100Mbps Ethernet between me and server), and the YubiKey via OpenID when I'm outside the home network.

Yubikey with Wordpress Plugin

2011-03-08T23:32:06+01:00

I've just received my yubikey in the mail. I installed the plugin on my Wordpress self-hosted blog and everything is working great.

Do we have the facility to order a spare Yubikey with the same setup in case the first is lost?

For Wordpress, if i was to lose the Yubikey would i be able to bypass it by simply removing the Yubikey directory from my plugins folder?

Cheers.
