What happened when we used it
By the ShopEssentialsHub team ·
Still in use as of September 2026. How we pick
We bought this in August 2023 and it has protected the main email, the password manager and the site accounts ever since. It is easier than it sounds: plug it in or tap it on the phone, touch the gold disc, done. No app, no codes to type. Once you have used one you do not want to go back to text-message codes.
This is the one we’d buy again.
