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‘‹

I know yubikey is the biggest in the market and it's always good to have alternates but is there a reason you don't want them?

I thought their security was pretty good and haven't heard of any breaches.

Maybe their prices

I think I paid 35 for USB-c and nfc... You think that is severely overpriced?
