I did exactly this minus the backup key. Problem is that the backup is nearly meaningless since it is just a second totally different key. For most services that is fine as they allow to setup multiple keys (GitHub, Gitlab, etc). But some services don’t. My first Yubikey is partially broken. I only wait for the day the usb connector breaks out. I already have new yubikeys and it would be awesome to just put the same key on them to have no fuss.

I’m at the moment between keys. I tried to use the new SSH keys which resides on the FIDO key. Problem is that most services I wanted it to use for don’t understand them. Most prominently Ubuntu LTS18.4 because of no official support for OpenSSH 8.2. So I use my old key with an ssh key derived from gnupg and a new one with resident ssh key.
