should i get it you think? would i need it for both laptop and phone? i dont see how it would plug into phone since connections are different.
Yes, they have different connectors it won't fit with your phone that is why you will need a micro USB to OTG cable to use Yubikey with your phone.
However, using the 2FA or SMS authentication is fine as long as you have a backup of secret keys for future recovery.
hey what does this part mean? how do i get a "backup of secret keys"?
thanks!

Hi,
I recently signed up for coinbase pro that i use on my laptop and phone. When in the coinbase site it says a security key is best. Do i need to get one, like off amazon? Is this necessary? Thanks.
