I currently have a macbook pro with 2 thunderbolt 3 ports and integrated graphic card and a belkin dock that I use for work, but can't get work done with just 1 monitor.
I have a triple 1080p monitor setup at home that uses VGA and/or HDMI and was wondering if there is anyway I can use all 3 monitors with my laptop. Please keep in mind that although the dock has 2 thunderbolt ports one is used to connect to the macbook and the other I need to use for my yubikey. So in total I only have 1 more thunderbolt port free (the one from the macbook).
Thank you guys!

In order to get this setup working, you'll want to get the following:
You would connect the first monitor directly into the MacBook Pro using the Thunderbolt 3 to HDMI cable.
The second monitor connects to the dock's Thunderbolt 3 connector using the Thunderbolt 3 to HDMI cable.
The third monitor connects to the dock's DisplayPort connector using the DisplayPort to HDMI adapter-cable.
The YubiKey connects to one of the dock's USB ports using the USB-A to USB-C adapter.
