I wanna make more of myaccounts in the internet secure with two factor. I don't know much about it, but found out about Fido 2 and so. The security key my webbrowser shows often is the one from Yubico (BTW, I would like to get one that works with Linux, with USB and for phone with NFC) I got concerned when I noticed that Yubico is from USA, (??) Because I think NSA and thibgs like five eyes and so. Is there actually a risk that the for example is made an backdoor in the key?

Isn’t Yubico (at least in part) Swedish?

I thought so too, but it might only be manufactured there

The founder lady is (somewhat) Swedish and it was incubated at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. That’s what I gathered from Wikipedia anyhow.

I would imagine the keyes would be more expensive if manufactured there.
