Which 2FA physical key do you prefer? (lemmy.ml)

I am thinking about buying a pair of physical 2FA keys to protect my password manager and sensitive accounts. Which brand and model do you suggest?

If a model with open source firmware doesn't come with big drawbacks, I'd prefer it, because I may learn from the source code and even contribute to it.

NFC is not necessary, and the keys should be USB-A. A fingerprint reader is welcome if the price doesn't increase too much.

Thank you all in advance.

Yubico keys. Never had an issue after years of dangling on my keychain. They get replaced with upgrades to the key before they can break.
