I adopted two-factor authentication a decade ago and selected YubiKey. I opted to use their physical tokens, a little USB dongle that generates a very long one time code each time you use it to access a site. The system integrates nicely with various password manager programs.

The big downside is not having a key with you when you need it. I keep one on my company badge retractor, one on my personal keychain, and one in a living room endtable. The keys are unlabeled, so if you lose one the finder/thief won't know who it belongs to (assuming you keep all identification odd your keychain). Without the physical key, I'm not getting into my systems (unless I remember the person). My PW manager generates very long and impossible to remember passwords for sites, too.
