yubikey-style. I think it's about the concept, not a specific implementation.
It's orders of magnitude more secure to have a device that holds a key rather than depending on (a) website to support a particular authentication platform and (b) me having credentials for said platform.
I agree, not having direct unfettered access to the keys is a flaw in current implementations. Also I don't see the steps a person needs to go through or GUI intuitiveness as things that will prevent this kind of technology from becoming ubiquitous. I'm confident adoption will reach terminal velocity. Just not sure when it'll happen. I think it won't have a chance, though, until all the right standards are in place.
