Yubico Official Recommendation:
When purchasing YubiKeys, you should adopt a primary key and backup key strategy. When setting up two-step verification for your accounts, configure both the primary and backup keys. In the event that the primary key is lost or stolen, the backup key can be used to log in to your account. The backup key should also be kept in a safe place.
