I bought four yubikeys back in 2012, two pairs as recommended - one in use, one backup. At the time Yubi had a video up of their keys being run over and otherwise maltreated, and still working.
One of my keys failed spontaneously after a just few weeks in my pocket, on a ring with my other keys.
I decided to stop using yubikeys. A password manager has worked very well for me ever since.
- ViViDboarder 4y agoI’ve had one on my keychain for at least 5 years now with no issues. It would have been longer but I did switch to a USB-C key two years ago. I kept the old one enrolled as my backup key. I use a password manager, but my Yubikey has all my 2FA. Including TOTP.
