I'm still very confused as to how the hell they work. Do sites need to explicitly support them? Can I just use it for 1Password? Also I am a bit of a scatterbrains so prone to losing things. What do I do if I lose my YubiKey, are there recovery options? Do you use it in addition to an authenticator app or instead of? I am really confused as to the advantages it gives.

> Do sites need to explicitly support them? The web site will need to support FIDO U2F, yes. > Can I just use it for 1Password? I've not used 1Password, so I don't know. The Yubico site should be able to tell you if a given thing is compatible. > What do I do if I lose my YubiKey, are there recovery options? Nope. Get two of them. > Do you use it in addition to an authenticator app or instead of? Sort of both. So if a site supports the use of an authenticator app but not FIDO U2F, I use the Yubico authenticator app. When opened, it stays locked until my Yubikey is tapped against my phone.
