Maybe obvious to some, but I got an IMHO excellent idea from a caller today:

The Yubikey with static OTP can be used for generating a gpg passphrase. Creating a good passphrase is not always that easy and the Yubkey can be helpful here.

Combining that with a two-factor authentication can then add some extra security. With a budget approach of using multiple passwords, the static OTP Yubikey can then be used for other applications as well:

Not perfect, but pretty good I think...
