I have yet to get a Yubikey, mostly because I'm scared of losing or breaking it.

    That's why you should get two.

    And if you only need FIDO2/passkeys, the Security Key series is half the cost ($25) of the Yubikey 5 ($50) and all you really lose is OpenPGP and PIV (smart card) functionality.

    Now I like playing with all the features of the 5, but most people should just need FIDO2.

    I looked into this a year ago and most sites did not offer to register a second key, so if you lose your key, you can kiss many of your accesses goodbye. I would never have the key to my digital life on a keychain... The idea is good, but it will cause huge damage if you lose your HW key. On the other hand, if you are cautious and use different PWs and a password manager with 2FA, you are quite safe.

    I have had three of them on my keyring for years (one old personal, one newer personal and one for work) and even though they sometimes get lodged between the keys and a separate ring I have on the main ring none of them ever even got close to looking damaged (excluding some mild fading of the print on the oldest one).
