Your thoughts on hardware MFA? (Yubikey, uTrust etc)

I’m looking to get a Yubikey or similar.

I’d use it to secure my emails, socials and similar. Personal use, not company. I’m not more of a target than anyone else but I can imagine how much it would suck if something got compromised, especially my main email that has all other accounts connected to it.

I’d get one with Mac to carry around and use for my computer/phone. Then two others to store at places where they can’t get lost.

Currently I mainly use Apple’s keychain.

I’d love to hear your thoughts! Do you use it in this way? Is it a good solution or just annoying? Is uTrust good even though it’s cheap? Are there any open source alternatives? Is there something I need to think about?

Thanks!
