I've found the Yubikey to be an incredibly easy way to do 2FA. I use a usb-c nano version and it pretty much never leaves my mac (and the mac never leaves me). I've found it faster to do 2FA on a large number of tech websites. Just touch the key and you're done.

I know 1Password can fill TOTP for you, but I like having my security spread across 1Password and Yubikey. In the unlikely event 1Password gets compromised they still need physical access to my computer.

I don't log onto the mac with Yubikey and it has full-disk encryption turned on, so I'm pretty happy with the attack surface.
