> in what way is something like a yubikey secured via a password?
It isn't, which makes me confused about how it is supposed to be more secure. If I lose my keys with a physical security key attached, not only do I now have to worry about somebody breaking into my house, but all of my online/digital properties as well (assuming passwords become a thing of the past). If they have my phone which has Touch/Face ID enabled, that poses a much more significant challenge to an attacker (and can maybe be mitigated if I can remote wipe the device in time).
