Not to mention pass, due to its connection to GnuPG, can protect secrets using Yubikey that require 6 digit PIN (will lock after 3 tries) and touching the blinking dot.

Interesting. I've never used pass, but this thread is making it sound interesting. Does it support fallbacks (multiple keys, other forms of credentials) simultaneously?
Multiple keys: yes, through a config file (can be also useful for team access). I'm not sure about "other forms of credentials" though. Pass is just a simple GnuPG wrapper if gpg can do something pass can do it too.
How do access your passwords from your phone?
There's an Andriod client for that: https://github.com/zeapo/Android-Password-Store#readme

Plenty of other extensions, managers here: https://www.passwordstore.org/#other

See sibling comment. Additionally it's possible to use the same Yubikey token on laptop and phone (through NFC or USB). Convenient and secure!

Second benefit is Yubikey can hold authentication subkey that can be used to SSH to a server on a phone.
