That's just their small device (NEO). I have two of their normal sized one that I use for several sites already for 2-Factor. The YubiKeys are actually pretty robust and safe enough to keep on a keyring.

The key to this is to still require something that you remember like your username (and/or a password), they will get stolen and it is too risky for these tokens to be the only authentication factor.

As long as users are educated that these tokens should in all ways be considered a set of keys then security can only be improved with them.
