One place where this has saved me is trying to type in my VRChat password, on a standalone Quest 3 headset. The tedium of trying to type in a password in VR with a virtual keyboard, while having the headset slid up onto my forehead juuuust enough so I can see my phone with my password manager on it, is by far the worst modern login process I've ever experienced. Just having pronounceable syllables is enough to speed that process up significantly.

These devices are where a physical keys like yubikeys made the most sense. You set one to quickly access services. And you can then quickly invalidate one that is lost. Better than passkeys that try to get me to use a big phone for that purpose.
