      Not all banks and website support physical key authentication. Besides, those keys can also be vulnerable. Yubikeys and others were vulnerable to a side channel attack and you had to buy new keys since you cannot patch hardware.

        Keys can generate TOTP codes that most if not all services that support 2FA/MFA use.

        You just scan the QR or enter the code with the key plugged in and it adds it.
