My current hardware MFA key is no longer receiving security patches, so I'm in the market for a new one.

Here's a list of features I'd like my new hardware MFA key to have, in order of priority:
1. USB-A
2. NFC
3. USB-C
4. Biometric
5. Bluetooth

My current MFA key has features 1-3 and 5. Is there a Holy Grail MFA key somewhere out there with all 5 features?

I'm already pretty familiar with YubiCo's product lineup, and while I love their security rating and build quality, none of them have more than 2 of the features listed above, so that kinda bums me out.

Anyway, let's hear your hardware MFA key recommendations!

@JamesDBartlett3 In the semi-exhaustive taxonomy space I'm aware of, don't know of anything with all five - in fact, Bluetooth support is quite rare these days (supplying power tends to add fragility to the device). A "both multi-connector and also biometric" combo is also missing as far as I know.

Yeah, that bit about the fragility kinda makes sense. I really only need Bluetooth as a backup, so even if it didn't have a battery of its own, but could draw power from an external source via USB, or perhaps an induction coil, that would be acceptable.
