 When you enable 2FA, don't forget to back up your recovery codes. For your safety, if you
 lose your codes for GitLab.com, we can't disable or recover them.  
 
+In addition to a phone application, GitLab supports U2F (universal 2nd factor) devices as
+the second factor of authentication. Once enabled, in addition to supplying your username and
+password to login, you'll be prompted to activate your U2F device (usually by pressing
+a button on it), and it will perform secure authentication on your behalf.
+
+> **Note:** Support for U2F devices was added in version 8.8
+
+The U2F workflow is only supported by Google Chrome at this point, so we _strongly_ recommend 
+that you set up both methods of two-factor authentication, so you can still access your account 
+from other browsers.
