some of the keys then on the market.  Yubico do well, IIRC.

FWIW I can also vouch for the NitroKey Pro. It's not U2F, but then barely anything I use supports U2F.

You can store TOTPs on it for 2 Factor (but it's limited to 15, which is not enough for me, so I'm still using andOTP on my phone...).

The main use I have for it is as a GPG smartcard. It lets you carry your GPG key around with you everywhere, or a subkey if you wish.

This unlocks loads of possibilities, like being able to decrypt my password store, signing and encrypting emails, files etc etc. I also use it for SSH authentication.

It's allowed me to use GPG a lot more than I otherwise would have.
