Trezor is great as an U2F device because it uses the same crypto seed to initialize all internal keys, including the U2F feature. So you only have to backup the seed phrase offline (paper is one of the safest medium when correctly secured, or you can buy a cryptosteel plates to really long-term storage).

Crypto fan or not, those devices are amazingly secure, and certainly hold billions out there. I think it is open source too.

The advantage of seed backup + hierarchical deterministic keys is greatly underapreciated.
