    Because you’re much more likely to lose or break a hardware fob than lose a password, let alone change (lose or whatever) recovery email or phone.

    Like, it would be a neat option; ideally you could set up literally anything and say what combination of factors you want to use for recovery and which to use for authentication, but it’d be a pretty big change for a tiny minority of users.
