FIDO 2.0
It's flexible and secure, and most of the major players are onboard with the standard. I use and love KeePassXC (as everyone should at this point), but passwords have too many fundamental problems to be the future.
Yubikeys are nice, but don't fit everyone or everywhere. The FIDO standard is flexible enough so that it can use one or more of many different authentication factors, biometrics on your smart phone, secrets stored in the browser, PINs, Yubikeys, and others.

Particularly exciting to me is W3C's recent standardization of the protocol. It's starting to take off!
