Q: Does this work as a two-factor authentication method for signing into outlook.com? If so, which browsers are supported?

Sure does. In fact with Edge you can setup password-less logon to outlook.com. with chrome and Firefox you can just use it as a second factor after the username and password.

Q: Does this have any kind of backup in case you lose it like some software based 2FA does? Or is it game over if it goes wandering?

You use this device as a 2 factor authorization which works with 3rd party software which you purchase separately .It has no software itself. It simply contains a chip which generates a Code which your software recognizes and as it needs to be Physically pressed by a human being it is not possible for hackers to program software to activate it. If you lose it you simply deactivate your device in you software of choice. For example you could use it with a password manager software which you purchase separately. To login into a software you use a password , that is the 1st factor of Authorization, then you insert your Key and press the button , that is the second factor.So if someone gets hold of your password they still can't login in without your stick. It's almost Bullet proof if you ask me. If you lose your Yubikey and wished to deactivate the Yubikey you would do so via a mobile phone which you used to setup your software in the first place. For example you would receive an SMS or Email depending on the Software producer.

Q: Right question. If the security key is made to last 20 to 30 years. How many years do the website your registered to support your current security key

This is something I will need to look into nearer the time but also best to check it out on Youtube so that you know where you stand before you buy the item.
