The solution for individuals and businesses is to use a password manager in combination with the strongest form of two-factor authentication available: The YubiKey.

How can I use my YubiKey with KeePass?
This article covers two methods for using YubiKeys with the KeePass password manager: HMAC-SHA1 Challenge-Response and OATH-HOTP.
