I was looking for a cheaper alternative than Yubikey etc - then I found token2.

Their FIDO U2F costs only 5 euro.

Now I can say to people I talked to that they no longer have any reason not to use security key.

I feel like convenience is an important part of making security keys work effectively. These are definitely cheaper, but once you move out of the large bully USB-A keys to those that might not require adapters, might be smaller, more useful with things like NFC, they get a lot more expensive. Still cheaper than Yubikeys, but similar ballpark. I’m not sure this would change the maths on whether to use a security key or not for that many people?
