Hello Gonzalez50! 👋

Thank you for the question! You'll want to use a FIDO U2F-compatible security key like a YubiKey or a Titan key. Make sure that the key features connections that will work with all of your devices (for example, a USB-C port). You should have two different second factors added to your account, whether it's two security keys or a security key and a TOTP authenticator app just in case you lose a security key or it breaks.

You can read more about using a security key for two-factor authentication here: Use your security key as a second factor for your 1Password account

Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
