> For the purpose of login in with a private key, i would prefer some browser extension (or built in the browser) that generates a key from a seed (like a crypto wallet) and only does that. This doesn't exist at this point.
What about https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-5-overview/ or https://cloud.google.com/titan-security-key/ or https://krypt.co/ (before it was acquired, I still use it though) or any of it's equivalents?
i'm familiar with those (yubikey and titan, didn't knew about krypt). Don't own any of those but always install the FIDO U2F [1] app on my ledger hardware wallets (which is a nice extra).
my issue with using a physical device is that it detracts adoption if there is no other alternative. a browser extension or built-in helps adoption and adoption probably increases the number of people using physical devices.
