This article shows that U2F has LONG way to go before it is consumer ready. Expanding on the 'key' metaphor, U2F (or MFA in general) needs to be as easy as unlocking a door. Everyone knows how to do that; insert key, turn key, open door. Until things like Yubikey and their ilk are as simple as this (and I know it's mostly the software that has to catch up), it's never going to be wildly adopted on peoples personal logins. I use Smart-card auth on my work laptop along with a 8 digit PIN to create 2FA, and although it's supposed to be universally supported across all the applications I use, it really isn't. When I first started working here, I spent several days very confused about where the smart-card did and didn't work - I dread to think how the layperson works this stuff out.
