For some of the larger sites you can use a YubiKey. YubiKeys use the
FIDO/FIDO2 protocols. I believe WebAuthn also supports YubiKeys.

But I found a lot of sites do not support FIDO/FIDO2 protocols. For
example, most banks and my mother's credit union do not support them.
In this case, I send a letter to the company's legal department and
put them on notice. (I also point out the problems with their current
authentication system).

If you start switching to YubiKeys, then be sure to use two of them.
The second is a backup YubiKey, and it also gets enrolled when you
convert the account. The backup YubiKey is used in case the first
YubiKey is lost.
