From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YubiKey):

"The YubiKey is a hardware authentication device manufactured by Yubico to
protect access to computers, networks, and online services that supports
one-time passwords, public-key cryptography, and authentication, and the
Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) and FIDO2 protocols developed by the FIDO
Alliance.  It allows users to securely log into their accounts by emitting
one-time passwords or using a FIDO-based public/private key pair generated
by the device.  YubiKey also allows for storing static passwords for use at
sites that do not support one-time passwords.  Both Google and Facebook use
Yubikey devices to secure employee accounts as well as end user accounts. 
Some password managers support YubiKey.  Yubico also manufactures the
Security Key, a similar lower cost device with only FIDO/U2F support."

With the hundreds of passwords I use and my server(s), a Yubikey would be a
big help for me.
