I believe in, and am a big proponent of physical 2FA being widely adopted -- though I own a half-dozen YubyKeys, I do wonder what their profit margins are. They feel a lot more expensive than they should be.

They used to be so cheap that WIRED offered them as signup freebies. I wonder what happened.
True, I got one from ARS. Still my favorite one

I hope they are huge while the products stay affordable. A cursory check suggests even yubico's product line are on the market for around $30/key. This is hardly expensive.

They are pretty expensive .I think of the production is around 10-15 bucks, so a pretty nice margin
