The thing that trips me up is the ability to make backups in the event it is lost/stolen. Seemingly not all services allow registering an additional key, and even if they do, the practicalities of juggling redundant fobs would be cumbersome.

I’ve only ever encountered that braindead design with AWS, every other place allows multiple keys.

And I can’t say I find multiple keys cumbersome, it’s simply the same procedure again: Click add, insert key and tap the button. Just twice instead of once.

Specifically, I want a backup key off-site. Anytime I enroll a new service, I need to retrieve my backup key from storage for the purposes of enrolling. Depending on how/where the backup is stored (bank box, parent's house across the country, etc) that would make the system less workable in practice.
