If you are going to set this up, sit down and spend an hour thinking about your backup and recovery strategy first. I'm familiar with an organization that did a POC for 2FA using them and had a surprisingly high failure rate.

I order 3 for each user, and tell them to keep the third somewhere really, really safe.

Maybe the safest thing is to not give them the 3rd one, until they ask you to pull it out of your safe.
