Even if every service supported it, ~$50 is a tough sell. For half of the population in the US, that's a minimum of 3 hours of work! Anything short of an "impulse buy" price is too much for most people, given the nebulous security/convenience benefit. But have them cheap enough to be sold at a discount store? That's enough to make it palatable. It's enough that tech folks can recommend them to virtually anyone without reservation.

At the current price, it's hard to recommend them to people I know. Even to those who still suffer in a world of post-it notes, reused passwords, and unclear knowledge of which device they own has saved what. The sort who live by the "forgot your password?" link. I've recommended password managers to them, but the recomendee is usually put off by the hassle of installing one and creating an account. Oddly enough, this hassle comes off as more surmountable if it's part of making a physical object work properly. There's something about the sunk cost of having already spent money, the natural value associated with a physical object, and the sense that they've already begun the process that makes the hurdle feel smaller.

Surely hardware keys (like Yubikey) are the easiest security factor to use? Nothing to remember, and it works just like a physical key, so nothing much to learn.

I do wish it was more widely supported.
