In my case, no page is involved, just the FreeOTP app on my Android
phone (which is less convenient than a sheet of paper with OPIE
passwords, but I can live with that).

U2F (and Yubikey) require purchase of hardware devices. In this sense,
they are not replacements for OPIE, which is a pure software solution. 

Back to my original question.

1. Is it safe to keep OPIE in the base system? Its upstream project
is gone. It is not IPv6 ready. It uses MD5.

2. If OPIE is not safe anymore, which is a good software replacement?
