There’s one special account though and that’s the AWS root account. It’s needed for certain special things and tying it to a yubikey means that you cannot easily give those a creds to 2 people.
But, as I wrote elsewhere in this thread, the only site I'm aware of that forbids multiple Authenticators (Security Keys) is AWS. And to be fair, AWS accounts are multi-user. If Bob loses his Security Key and Bob was your only admin, the biggest mistake wasn't AWS forbidding Bob from having two keys (though I agree that's bad) it's you not assigning another admin. Jim, the company secretary, may not know a t2.nano from m4.xlarge but he can keep a Security Key in his desk drawer and never give it to anybody unless the Big Boss authorises it.
