As someone who is comfortable with TOTP but hasn't tried FIDO-/Yubikey-style devices, I have a few questions:

- Are drivers for this already installed as part of desktop Ubuntu 20.10/Windows 10? Any driver installation will absolutely make this a no-go for family members.

- Is additional software required for anything non-techies might reasonably want to do with this device, including resetting it, adding an entry or checking which entries are already on the device? The ideal would probably be if the device acts like a USB stick, with entries being shown as .bin/.txt files which can be manipulated in the normal ways.

- How easy is it to create a backup? The ideal (for non-techies) would probably be something like plugging a device into a PC and simply copying files across. Ditto for duplicating to another device.

- Is there anything else which would likely stop non-techies from using this for basically everything they care about?
