Heck yeah, FIDO2 devices are great for systems that support it. As you already said in a reply, make sure to set a device PIN.

The pin for a Yubikey has to be entered on a computer instead of on the device itself, but those devices are much more expensive since they have a touchscreen.

Yeah Ill buy multiple devices to play with. I just wanted to share that this was an option since lots of people still don't use these. Very reasonably priced.

Any other brands you have a recommendation for?

I found the Yubikey very difficult to use with a PIN. It worked okay without one but:

A.) That's not what I want, and

B.) Some systems won't accept devices that are not PIN protected

So I'd disrecommend them unless you extra money and want to play around with it to see if it'd work for your use case.

I haven't personally used a NitroKey, but I did verify that they really do publish their hardware schematics and code. I'd build one of my own, but they're so reasonably priced, I can't really justify that amount of time and effort for something I'm only moderately passionate about.
