Yubikey: Worth it?
I'm a college student with way too many logins and offend reusing passwords. I also do password semantics research at the institution and know how useless they are.

Lemme just drop a pin because I've had their sight book marked for a week or so now.

Which model are you looking at?

Yes. Do it, and do the research on how to make a proper PGP keychain. I have one and I use it to encrypt my password database (GNU pass)

Definitely worth the $40 if it helps you take control of your credentials.

Yes.

But it won't directly replace a password manager.

If you want to unlock the password manager with the Yubikey either save parts of your master password on the key.
Better use a password manager which can be unlocked with PGP/GPG (e.g. pass, gopass or - if you want a graphical interface - QTpass).

My current usage of the Yubikey:
- Computer login (PIN + Yubikey; integrated smartcard functionality)
- SSH (with the GPG application; SSH with GPG takes some time to setup)
- Second factor for Github, Gitlab, Nextcloud, Google account with U2F (one of the most useful features)
- Second factor for server access with HOTP.

Hooray another gpg thing to try!
