Google issued hardware keys like this one to all of their employees, and after doing so, they were immune to phishing attacks. If you want to be sure that the hackers behind the next data breach can't access your accounts even if they get your password, then a U2F key is the way to go.
U2F keys activate the "something you have" of two-factor authentication, complementing the "something you know." There are a number of ways to deliver 2FA - authenticator apps with one-time passwords, text messages or emails with codes in them, RSA-style dongles with the six digits that change every minute, or a U2F key like this. The nice thing about a U2F key is that it _complements_ another form of 2FA. If you don't have your phone with you or left your RSA dongle at home, having a U2F key on your keychain means you can still access your accounts, and vice versa. You can even activate multiple U2F keys, whereas sites only allow a single OTP or authenticator app.
Always have a backup for important things.
I set it up with Dropbox and Google Apps, and it only took a moment. This key is small enough to go unnoticed on my keyring, and I like that it folds to protect the USB connector. I have another key from a different vendor that doesn't offer protection for the connector, and I'm concerned about how long it will last, flopping around in my pocket. The key from Thetis feels solid, and I'm glad that I bought it.
How small is it? I've added a couple of pictures to show you how it looks with a USB-C adaptor in my Mac, a pair of AirPods, and a standard folding-style USB flash drive. It's tiny.
Support for U2F is new, but as more sites recognize that they can protect their users by enabling support for it, it will become more prevalent. I recommend that you pick one of these up and activate it everywhere that you can.

I got my key about last week. It didn't work at first on my laptop for NameCheap.com, but I think the problem was with Opera's new browser called GX or how my Windows 10 is set up. Anyway, I tried it on my main desktop computer, and it worked right away with zero problems. Then tried again on the laptop by re-configuring my NameCheap settings. Works perfect now.
I bought this Thetis key because of its price and high reviews. The cons? Well, the plastic doesn't seem very resistant, but for the price...what would we expect? It's resistant enough, I'd say. Also, it doesn't work universally as those overpriced Yubikeys, but these cost less than half the price of those.
If you still plan on getting Yubikeys instead, do note that it is HIGHLY recommended to have at least TWO keys. Important services like Google, Dropbox, NameCheap, Bitwarden...these work with these keys. So you could get an expensive Yubikey plus a Thetis key for backup, if you really must.
For me, Thetis is enough. I plan on having another one.
ALSO! I used a USB-C adapter for my phone. My LG V20 phone first thought it was a keyboard, but after reinserting is, NameCheap.com immediately recognized it and I was able to log in.
I originally purchased it for extra security for logging into windows. However, it seems I did not complete my research thoroughly enough and as of the writing of this review Windows 10 does not support keys for login (even if it has an option for it in the settings). That is a flaw of Microsoft and not this key. It is, however, something to keep in mind if that is what you are looking for.
Website login integration is (where supported) very easy though may require extra steps. That is, once again, a reflection of those particular sites and not the key.
The key itself is built sturdy out of rigid plastic and some sort of metal sheath. When opened, the sheath softly (yet firmly) clicks into place and has a good feel. The button has a nice tactile click and it fits VERY SNUG in a USB port. Almost too snug for my liking but I suppose that is the price one pays for durability.
I do wish the hole punch for placing on a keychain or lanyard was a touch bigger. Does not fit on my keychain. Also, when closed the sheath does not feel like it firmly clicks in place in the closed position like it does when opened. But other than that, it works which is all one can really ask from such a product.
It was very easy to use and set up with Google Advanced Protection and other accounts.
The button on it give a very satisfying click when pushed so there is no guessing on whether or not it has been activated.
An aspect of the device that is both good and bad would be its a little difficult to unfold.
this could be viewed as a good thing as it wont be opening up in your pocket or bag and start flopping around getting dirt in it.
Over all this device is fantastic for the price and i haven't had any issues and will recommend it to others wanting the same.
