For anyone who really thinks this way, let me give you a 30,000ft view of why this is wrong:

Which of the following passwords is easiest to memorize?

1. "SlickDeals2020"
2. "4 God So Loved The World"
3. "3!dFi&m_udhUfhhaAEJ75jf@HbzOpm37lauma_25381047361"

You've probably answered #1 or #2. Security professionals (hackers by another name) have tools that generate passwords. Without getting into the details, it would be beyond trivial to crack password #1. Password #2 would take longer, but since it is a passage in a popular book, the time it would take to crack it is reduced. Either one should take less than 1 day to compromise. (The first should take less than 10 minutes)

Password #3 is sufficiently random and has a very long length. It would take even the best known supercomputers *years* to crack that password. That makes it the best password of the 3, but obviously the most difficult to memorize.

That's what a passsword manager like LastPass, 1Password, Keychain with a YubiKey is for. You can generate wildly complex pass phrases that make accessing your data out of reach for most would-be hackers and secure all of that data with a physical hardware device that stays in your possession.

Yes, I hear you: "I haven't done anything wrong; the govt isn't cracking my passwords;I don't care if they get into my acct" and so on. Cool, I get it. Do you. Just know that using your spouse's name and 4 digits makes you the low-hanging fruit for somebody learning how to hack, let alone someone who is competent at their job.
In this case it's not the size that matters, but the technology behind it.
10% ca$hb@ck as well at a popular site. Saves about $9.50 on a 2-pack of NFC USB-C models. You can message me if you can't find it and want the exact name.

Note that you should always buy a minimum of 2, because if you ever lose a key you don't want to be locked out of your accounts. (should always have 2 associated).

Which one are you guys getting and how much are you paying?

Also, t looks that YubiKey 5 NFC (for usb-a) has exposed contacts that could wear out over time. Is this a concern?

This is frankly, BS. No website or app is letting you try millions of passwords a second. More like 3-5 times total before locking you out. So maybe you have access to the backend where you can just throw a hash of the password directly at the authenticating agent? Well ,the salt is 512bits. No one has a rainbow table even up to 8 unicode characters. This is real life, not a movie.

Hmm I don't think its BS. Plenty of websites/companies get their passwords leaked. Assuming it wasn't in plaintext to begin with, an attacker could try to crack it at his leisure. Even salted, my (limited) understanding is you can still brute force a known password, just not easily via rainbow tables.

No one is brute-forcing passwords live against a website in any significant volume.
But attackers are stealing HASHED passwords daily from websites, and then using various attack methods directly against the hashes.
