Yubikey is a piece of physical hardware that you plug into your computer when you log in. It has a unique passcode programmed into it so only YOUR yubikey works with your account. A hacker with a different yubikey will not be able to gain access to your account. He would have to steal YOUR yubikey in addition to having your login password to gain access.

Google Authenticator is the other option and it is free.
