this is hands down my biggest beef with most shiny new crypto libraries (and the push to reimplement all the things with them) -- almost never support for hardware key storage

To be fair trying to get a decent hardware key is a lesson in "no longer sold" from any list I found when looking into it a year back for GPG.

In fairness I also had the requirement of "is not USB" - but this is reasonable IMO (don't train your users to plug in USB key like things)

You can use a traditional smartcard to store your GPG keys. That should meet your requirements?

You can even use a Yubikey.
