What are good YubiKey alternatives with NFC and biometrics? (www.yubico.com)

Hey everyone,

I am currently using an old(er) HYPERSECU FIDO key, USB-A with a button, and I am looking to

  • secure my phone as well (NFC) and, if possible
  • add biometric authentication to the mix.

Are there good alternatives or better: upgrades to the YubiKey which do support NFC as well as biometrics and come with a USB-C?

Thanks for your time ๐Ÿ‘‹

Out of left field, but take a look at Trezor. They specialize in cryptocurrency hardwallets, but by extension, they also offer password/2fa functionality on their devices. No biometrics* that I'm aware of, but PIN protection is mandatory.

Site: https://trezor.io/

Which one of their products would you recommend specifically?

Either Safe 3 or Model T. Model T is their best option, but very costly. Safe 3 seems to be upgraded Model One for 10$ more.
