Question about switching from a password manager to a physical security key

I argued with my friend in Denver for months that my password manager was enough, but after he showed me how a $50 Yubikey could stop a phishing attempt cold, I bought one last week and it's already saved my main email account.

Wish I had your friend... mine just laughed when I told him my "uncrackable" password was my cat's name plus 123. Took getting locked out of my own Netflix to finally listen and get a key.

Used to think my password manager was all I needed. My buddy in Denver kept pushing security keys and finally showed me a real phishing demo. Grabbed a Yubikey and it blocked a login attempt on my email two days later. Totally worth the switch.
