Just was looking to order some, but may not have to now...hopefully :)

Currently use authy and a password manager for MFA but this would allow me to have a more secure method

Currently use 2FA on my phone for many online services, but would prefer something more robust and secure.

I use 2FA on every service that offers it (big fan of Authy), but disappointed that SMS is still a fallback method for most services. I'd be super keen for a yubikey to make that 2FA life a bit more convenient!

I use a mix of Google and MS authenticator apps, and Okta for work.

Using Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator. Really want to up my game and encrypt my daily driver with YubiKey and where possible use YubiKey supported authentication.

I have all my 2FA in Google Authenticator with the keys backed up and encrypted "somewhere". I few RSA tokens too. If I can use 2FA I always try to.

This YubiKey sounds great. I am always chasing passwords, usually because I have forgotten to record them in my password manager. I use 2FA, bution this key seems to be an elegant solution to password security.

For TOTP 2FA I use andOTP

My U2F token is a TOMU

I deleted my mobile number from my bank's profile to stop them using SMS for transaction auth...

I was 2FA was implemented further in most NZ Banks.

A verification text code upon paying someone is alright, but it didn't require 2FA to log into online banking.

Then the phone apps have basically no 2FA.

A couple of years ago I was subjected to a ransomware attack... and then after locking things down, another within about 3 weeks.

Fortunately I managed to stop them before they got to anything I couldn't lose.

Since then I use 2FA everywhere I possibly can. Most works well, though my medical centre's only option is via an email which is painfully slow when you are used to an app/text.

Add to that I set up a Google Cloud account for backups - have about a TB and costs me around $9 a month so fairly happy (first year free too).

I no longer use any password that isn't at least 12 characters of random joy, and a few other steps to avoid these sort of issues in the future, but 2FA is a cornerstone of protection and it's mostly just so easy to use.

I use Duo for work and have also set it up for a couple of key personal accounts where available. Others accounts are using old-school SMS based 2FA!

I tray and use 2FA where I can, the majority of the logons I have use Google Authenticator, but some have their own idea of what 2FA should be, mostly the banks. I am sure that Yubikey will be easier to use and more secure.

2FA via SMS for some logins, Google, Microsoft and Salesforce Apps for others.

SMS and Google seem to be the two most frequently used.
