Yeah besides contactless being an option as the other poster said (I use this too sometimes, especially on my phone), at work I use a cheap USB hub for this. When a port dies or becomes unreliable, I tape it off and use the next one. It can be really cheap as USB 2.0 is more than fast enough for a yubikey.

I'm at 2 out of 4 ports dead now after 1,5 years on a $10 hub so it's not bad :) In addition, it's an iMac and the ports at the back are a nightmare to use. I taped the hub to the 'foot' of the iMac so it's much easier to use.

I don't use this mode though but PIV + PIN.
