U2F ist trying to fix these usability problems my making it work without any installation or configuration (of the device or the host machine, the service obviously has to be configured) so this could be imo the first 2FA device to gain a widespread usage. But still, the main problem remains, which is that most people just don't care. | |

It sounds like the technical side of it wouldn't be an issue.. | |

Checkout NitroKey Pro, YubiKey or Safenet eToken, for example. | |
