They list 5 benefits of U2F but only two of these are unique:
Easier to use than traditional 2 factor authentication.
No retyping of one-time codes involved.
So basically, this is just 2FA but with an expensive, specialized device to save you the difficult task of generating and typing a 6 digit code.
*Pro Tip: Some 2FA apps will put the code into the clipboard so you can just paste it.*
What happens if you lose/break the device?
They have an easy solution for this too --- another expensive, specialized device as a backup. Double the cost just to be safe.
