Log in to Ubuntu with 2 factor

Question

I recently purchased a Yubikey and I would like to use it to log into my computer. A quick Google search turned up nothing obviously useful to me. I am running Ubuntu 14.10; does anyone know of a way to do this?

I did look at the suggested post (the list that appears before a question is submitted) and I found this but I don't think it's trying to do the same thing. I think what this post is saying is that upon booting the pc the encryption passphrase is asked for, and the OP would like multi-factor for that. If this is incorrect someone please correct me.

You need to install the libpam-yubico package. You can find details on configuring in the README from the upstream repository. The documentation should also be installed along with the package.

I can see that package isn't in my current set of repos. As a side question how to I figure out the name of a repo to add? Is there a standard way of knowing? What's the name of this one? – GoProCameraByGoPro Mar 19 '15 at 00:54
got it: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yubico/stable – GoProCameraByGoPro Mar 19 '15 at 01:06
Sorry, I transposed the parts of the package name. It's `libpam-yubico` actually. – dobey Mar 19 '15 at 01:43
I figured it out from the README you linked to – GoProCameraByGoPro Mar 19 '15 at 19:37
