My $60 Yubikey felt stupid until it stopped a login from Brazil

Bought the thing on a whim after reading about phishing, thought it was a hassle for months. Then last Tuesday I got an alert for a login attempt from Sao Paulo that the key blocked instantly. Now I keep it on my keyring. Anyone have a good backup method for these in case you lose it?

That "hassle for months" feeling is so real. I keep a backup key in a fireproof lockbox at home, registered to the same accounts.

But what if your whole house burns down, @nathanl36?
