I agree with Tilghman, but would add there are NFC versions of
Yubikey's (still without battery), and USB-C connector (which may or may
not attach to your phone). If supported, it could be added as a backup
authentication method, but I don't recommend using them as the primary

I just heard of SMS mirroring, which is good if we want to do that, but not
so good if a hacker can mirror someone else's SMS and bypass 2FA. What

I'd go for DIY Yubi unless Yubi is just plain and simple so good that it's

I would suggest configuring PAM to use one of the myriad 2 factor
authentication schemes, preferably one that isn't tied to a hardware
key. For example, you can use a Google Authenticator scheme with an
app like Authy, which will allow you to authenticate with multiple
devices -- useful if you los

I have a couple of sensitive logins which I need to keep secure online and
offline. I see multiple USB devices from about $10 and up. I also see
