Hi,

from what I found out today, I think it is much more worse to secure your account (Apple ID) with Yubikeys than using traditional 2FA way (secure devices).

If I setup Yubikeys I do have these issues, which I do 'not' have when using 2FA trusted devices:
- if someone has access to one of my trusted devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac,...) and knows my PIN/PW he can just delete 'all' of my Yubikeys out of my account > there is no other question for a password or something else

I thought it is better to use those Hardware-Keys instead of any other method. But now I'm not sure which advantages a Yubikey does have in comparison to any other traditional way?!
