This is actually more convenient sometimes. I already have one of these FOBs permanently attached to my computer. It's a tiny pieces that fit into usb and only protrudes a couple of milimiters. Since I have this always connected all I have to do is touch it and I'm in. Takes me less than once second while taking my phone, opening the app and typing the code by hand takes 10-20 seconds.

The downside is that it takes a USB port, which is one of the reasons I hated this years MacBook so much.

UPDATE: I found the exact model I have on Amazon

Dumb question... what does the yubikey then do that a normal computer can't do? If you keep it plugged in, what security benefit does it have over storing (strong) passwords?

Think of it the same as the EMV chip on a credit card.
