Got it, this makes sense to me. And sorry, I was rereading the thread, I don't want to think I'm dismissing your whole article, I really appreciate you writing about it. I think the time is a big advantage. As I mentioned, I'm working with Conor on the FIDO2 security key (actually, update [1]), and we were thinking to an option to create backups, maybe for advanced users. I'll keep you posted if we end up doing something in the space. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17777224 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17777224

Thanks! Yeah Conor mentioned that to me; I think the real benefit (at least personally for me) would be not being able to buy pre-made matching pairs of tokens, but being able to easily write my own key material plus the counter boost value. You know, yubikeys do have this functionality for OTP: their utility allows to program OTP keys. I actually expected the same for u2f, but alas.
