Also following, it would be great that when you introduce new "features" that you make them configurable. While the extra step isn't a massive inconvenience its rather annoying.
Disable "iPhone, iPad, or Android device" option for Passkey Sign-in

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.

2023-11-08T14:53:05+00:00 This has nothing to do with Duo MFA. It's the new Passkey feature in 23H2 that defaults to iPhone, iPad, ... it's extremely annoying. I Should default to the security key (or be configurable through the MDM).

Every time I want to use my Yubikey, it keeps asking me if I want to use an iPhone, iPad, or Android. I do not and will never use those options.
Please have a setting to entirely disable all other options except for my usual security key which is the Yubikey.
Stop asking to use iPhone, iPad and Android Device as a passkey!

I've just straight up uninstalled the update. The pretentiousness for Microsoft to think that every user in world should click through another prompt for every single login is absolutely insane.

If you disable Bluetooth this prompt should go away. I found this out because the prompt wouldn't show up on my work VM but it would on my laptop. Funny enough I wondered why and I finally found out that it requires bluetooth-capabilities to work. So I enabled it on the VM and it worked. So if you disable bluetoooth on your PC it should in fact disable this prompt.
UPDATE: I tested it and that seems to do it. However you must disable it through Device Manager itself, you cannot just turn off bluetooth.
