The U2F-Zero is about $9, and the cheapest U2F device I know of. They work well, but aren’t as durable as other options.

There are at least two U2F keys I was able to find on Amazon which were under $10 USD:

The latter is an open source / open hardware design:

This is a hardware project I started when I was a senior in college. U2F Zero, a open source U2F token / two factor authentication device.

Brings in around $500-$1000 per month of revenue (when in stock haha). I started just to learn how to lay out a circuit board and make my own embedded device, just kind of took off.
Using the U2F protocol is nice, since it's a standard and the PC side infrastructure is all there for the users to use it. I just have to do the hardware development :)
Also, I'm working on a new U2F token. It supports FIDO2 (password replacement protocol, upgrade to U2F), NFC, USB-C, and will have a nice case. If you're interested, sign up here, we'll be releasing more news soon :)
