As of recent builds of Win 11, when prompted to use a security key, the following prompt appears:

It's insanely annoying to have to manually select Security Key every time, and I want to completely get rid of the iPhone, iPad, or Android device option. There is no intuitive way to do this through the Settings app.

How. The. Hell. Do. I. Turn. It. Off.

    Terrible, terrible design. At a minimum, even if it's not directly configurable, it should remember your last successful login and default to that option.

    This is an annoying monstrosity. Hardware keys are the most secure logins we have so it defaults to a software passkey that doesn't exist every stinking time I need to log in. I'm an MSP/VAR; this pops up at least 100 times a day for me.
