You should give yubikeys a try.

I use Yubikeys for everything that allows them. Haven't had any problems.

Aren't you describing a use case for a yubikey?

tgv Feb 16, 2022 View on HN

Sounds possible, but wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the yubikey, or at least undermine it?

You can use NFC or USB Yubikeys etc.

What's wrong with having your Yubikeys on your keys?

A yubikey doesn't replace a password.

joshu Dec 25, 2016 View on HN

Is this different from yubikey etc?

amingilani Jun 6, 2017 View on HN

That's what I use my Yubikey for! And it comes with U2F. I couldn't be happier!

They support hardware security keys like Yubikey.
