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.

That’s cool, strange I didn’t stumble over it when I was searching for these keys. Have you got one? Is it durable?
I got one years ago. Used it for quite a bit. Worked great, but I stopped using it when my daily computer didn’t have a USB-A port any more.
You do have to remember what each numbered button is for.
