I am thinking about buying a pair of physical 2FA keys to protect my password manager and sensitive accounts. Which brand and model do you suggest?

If a model with open source firmware doesn’t come with big drawbacks, I’d prefer it, because I may learn from the source code and even contribute to it.

NFC is not necessary, and the keys should be USB-A. A fingerprint reader is welcome if the price doesn’t increase too much.

Thank you all in advance.

    Why do folks seem to prefer Yubikey over alternatives like Nitrokey or Token2?

      So far nobody provided a good answer (if I missed it, I apologized, please do share) so I’m going to assume it’s the typical “Nobody ever get fired for buying from IBM” mindset, namely rely on what is the most popular, confirm it works well while ignoring viable alternatives IMHO, e.g NitroKey.
