A YubiKey is one of the easiest practical upgrades you can make for real-world protection, because it shuts down a huge chunk of phishing-based account takeovers. I’ve used multiple keys personally for passkeys, account lock-down, and identity verification. If you want the biggest impact with the least ongoing effort, start here.
Pros
- +Gold-standard 2FA that’s resistant to phishing
- +Requires physical presence to authenticate
- +Works quickly with supported services
Cons
- -Upfront cost compared to free methods
- -You need to keep track of the physical key (and ideally a backup)
