FIDO U2F keys are being phased out in 2025 - make sure to replace those in time

Well, this couple of tests did not shed any light, rather the opposite:

These are the two YubiKeys I used:

Device type: YubiKey Bio - FIDO Edition
Serial number: ***
Firmware version: 5.5.6
Form factor: Bio (USB-A)
Enabled USB interfaces: FIDO

Applications
Yubico OTP      Not available
FIDO U2F        Enabled
FIDO2           Disabled
OATH            Not available
PIV             Not available
OpenPGP         Not available
YubiHSM Auth    Not available
Device type: YubiKey 5 NFC
Serial number: ***
Firmware version: 5.1.2
Form factor: Keychain (USB-A)
Enabled USB interfaces: FIDO
NFC transport is disabled

Applications    USB             NFC
Yubico OTP      Disabled        Disabled
FIDO U2F        Enabled         Disabled
FIDO2           Disabled        Disabled
OATH            Disabled        Disabled
PIV             Disabled        Disabled
OpenPGP         Disabled        Disabled
YubiHSM Auth    Not available   Not available

As you can see: all applications disabled, except FIDO U2F.

Well, I was able to add them to my bitwarden account as 2SV and there is no indication at all that they are U2F on the web vault:

According to the documentation linked by @Nail1684, I should not have been able to add them (if the keys really are U2F only, after having disabled all the other applications).

I tried that tool with the YubiKey 5 NFC (having only FIDO U2F enabled), but it is for developers and I’m unable to understand anything there.
