I'm not sure that the big players have a motivation to force us to hardware. If anything, a lot of these entities will be happy to not have you forced to hardware because it's a support headache when people lose hardware.

(Also, be sure to understand that being forced to hardware is not "you must use a phone"... it is specifically "this passkey is locked to this Yubikey and can not by any means be moved to any other device". I don't think we're going to be stuck on that. Plus I haven't dug into the protocol but I'm not sure anything stops BitWarden from just claiming to be hardware.)

That said, my eyes are peeled, and at the moment the momentum is in the other direction, in that they actually headed away from that.
