This is a complete aside, but last year I purchased a keychain YubiKey 5, that supported USB-C and Lightning.

I attached it to my key ring, and within about 8 weeks, the device was destroyed through the general wear and tear of being in my pocket. The plastic started chipping at one end of the device, and before the long the entire plastic shell shattered off completely exposing the board underneath.

Was a pretty big bummer, and kept me with going back to Authy. Are there any other hardware key/tokens that are maybe a bit more rugged?

Hmm, maybe that is particular to that model? I've only had Yubikeys that are regular USB sized, carry them around on keychains all the time dangling from a bag, but haven't had a problem in the years I've owned it. Generally they are considered pretty durable I thought. (But also wouldn't mine hearing recommendations for others for the future.)

I'd also vouch for the near indestructibility of the normal USB-A variety - mine is still humming along despite being subjected over several years to no end of mishaps and abuse that would've killed any regular USB drive several times over

USB-C is a bad beast as the connector is really poorly designed from a mechanical point of view.

If you want to check it out, we just pre-launched Solo v2 [1]. The USB-A version is a solid block of pcb. The USB-C has extra soldering between the connector and the external pcb shield. It's "metal solid", vs plastic around the connector.
