Went from 6 hacked accounts per quarter to zero in 2 months after one change

Switched to a hardware security key setup after getting hit twice in November and haven't seen a single breach since, anyone else had that kind of luck with YubiKeys?

Man that's rough losing accounts that many times. I switched to a YubiKey after my Gmail got taken over last year and it's been smooth sailing since then. The peace of mind alone is worth the cost when you think about how much time it saves not dealing with recovery forms and password resets.

3 times in 6 months is rough but honestly 6 hacked accounts in a quarter sounds more like a password reuse problem than anything a YubiKey would fix on its own.
