Such devices are called FIDO keys. But they work only if the service you're accessing also supports it. I don't even know whether there is consumer hardware that supports an external TPM for boot image verification and hard drive decryption.

A plain USB stick is not a secure place for a keystore as a compromised kernel could trivially copy it and send it somewhere else for cracking.
