Yes, that’s exactly what it is. I had to get one for work because they wanted everyone to use the MS authenticator app on their (personal) phones. I got the Yubikey instead.

But yeah, gotta watch that you don’t accidentally touch it. I had a colleague carry my laptop once and was surprised to find some interesting additions to my code.

Can confirm, I have one just like this. The giveaway is the conductive metal bit, to have it be able to detect finger taps.

You should be safe to remove it. It probably has some info stamped on the metal somewhere.
