You can use Fido U2F on its own? Any applications in the wild that do this?
Yup! Both Microsoft and Gmail accounts will allow you to authenticate via a USB security key, which works with the Fido U2F app on my Ledger.
With Microsoft you only need to type your email and select "Sign in with USB key". With Gmail its not really a "primary" auth method but once you set up the security key in your Gmail account you can trigger it by clicking "Forgot your password", so you can either use it if you forget your password or as 2FA.
Surprisingly, Protonmail does not support this.
Really cool stuff, though.

I have a ledger nano s, does it support that app? I can't install it
