The goal of U2F is one key fob that works on many services. Implementation is pretty simple and the hardware is inexpensive. Sent from my iPhone

Hi Mark,
Convenience is the most important factor in any security scheme. The user nearly always has a choice, even if the choice is as rough-grained as "switch to a different company." If your process is too onerous (the user's notion of onerous) then it simply won't be used. An effective security scheme is the strongest which can be built within that boundary.
If a key fob can be sent to them - preferably for free - that would help.
Hint: carrying around a separate hardware fob for each important Internet-based service is a non-starter. Users might do it for their one or two most important services but yours isn't one of them.
