    Unfortunately SoloKey doesn't work as an OpenPGP smart card, which means it's not a real substitute for a Yubikey. I haven't had any luck with resident FIDO2, either.

    The Solo team believes that other functionality such as PIV overlaps with GnuPG use cases, so that OpenPGP isn't a priority, and their work on that functionality appears to have stopped in 2021. That's too bad, because OpenPGP's network effects far outweigh its pure functionality, which means a technical substitute isn't a substitute.

    I believe the Solokey meets your definition. The hardware schematics are open, as is the software running on it.

    The Precursor is also open hardware and software.

    If you trust any smartcard at all running a Javacard-compatible operating system, there's also https://github.com/BryanJacobs/FIDO2Applet .

    And of course if you're truly paranoid you can get a FPGA and implement a hardware security key on that. The overall security posture would likely be weaker, but you could be confident, hopefully, that nobody has put some kind of backdoor into the hardware you designed yourself to run atop a generic array of logic gates.

    If you get a smartcard, you can install https://github.com/BryanJacobs/FIDO2Applet on it to make it into a FIDO2 authenticator. You can install a GPG and a PIV applet too.

    A Yubikey is just a proprietary smartcard with a bunch of apps installed and some HID emulation (pretending to be a keyboard, which you likely do not want).

What are some alternatives?
