I have two-factor authentication active on my account but the options are basically limited to an auth app when one dose not want to use questionable third party workarounds the use of a hardware key such as a yubico key is impossible with them getting more prevalent I think it would be a good additional security feature.

Seconded. I would love to see either hardware keys or passkeys implemented into Plex.

I’ve been using my Yubikey for my Plex account for at least a year.
I wonder what y’all are doing wrong 🙂

Bump for this one. Specifically looking for FIDO2 U2F. Many consumer hardware items now have security chips installed that enable the use of passkeys, or some leverage USB hardware keys such as the Yubikey. The ability to assign multiple passkeys from devices whilst maintaining password + TOTP for any recovery would be much appreciated. Plex is the only service that is exposed to the internet. Whilst pathing is the priority activity, FIDO2 would provide piece of mind. By the way, we appreciate you! 🫶🏻💪🏻
