Your only “good” option is yubikey. They’ve been around comparatively forever, have all the problems worked out and make durable hardware. All that matters because you don’t want to get something from a company that goes under in a few years and leaves you high and dry and you don’t want the dongle to break because that’s your authentication, now you’re locked out of your shit.
I recommend against getting some doodad with a biometric reader. You’re adding complexity, attack vectors and not getting much out of it plus you’re locking yourself out of deniability and the possibility of handing a trusted person your dongle, telling them your password and having them act in your stead.
You're right about the FP reader, I didn't think about that before
