You only have to leave the key in by choice. For example, I use my Solo to authenticate login for google. But, I only need it on login....which really doesn't happen very often from my laptop. So, I am not leaving my key embedded in my laptop, which presents a problem if you actually have your laptop lifted at Starbucks!

Yeah, I choose to leave it in there, so I don't have to think about it. For me, that's the thing that finally switched using 2FA from being a burden, to neutral.

I have multiple Yubikeys, and fall back to TOTP on my phone and watch, so if my laptop is lifted, I will care about the financial/inconvenience loss of the laptop, but not the Yubikey.
