I've got the dual yubico key thing going. It seems to work fine. I don't need to pick overly complex passwords if I don't want to.

Google does this well. Yubico Security Key + they seem to monitor my logins / rate limits etc.

I deal as do many folks with relatively to extremely sensitive info (yes, also have stuff on auto-delete).

Complex passwords require a password manager - if those get updated and rooted then my yubico seems to save me again.

In fact, with yubico I have a few passwords I memorized that aren't TOO crazy long - with a 2FA hardware key you may be able to SIMPLIFY passwords and still have good security.

And the yubico is EASY! Clip it to your keychain and go.
