Do you use SSH ? Yubikeys are a fabulous way to store SSH keys.

Also bear in mind that aside from a secure storage mechanism, Yubkeys can also be configured to require pin and/or touch.

Therefore no matter what gets onto your computer, the Yubikey won't provide the answer unless touched.

Yes, but not for anything where keeping the SSH private key more secure than my AWS/DigitalOcean credentials would be useful. And I store those credentials in 1Password, which doesn't have a sufficiently mature integration with Yubikey on Linux or Android.

Use Bitwarden, it's a great password manager and it works with yubikey.

You can also self host it fully.
