"Tap your security key again on the reader" despite the security key is using the chip and there is no NFC reader attached to the PC

Hi,

Recently I got a FIDO compatible dual interface card to use with a chip smartcard reader I already own. However when I try to save passkeys from the browser, Windows Security asks me to "Tap the security key again" after entering PIN for the card. I do not have a NFC reader so it is impossible to actually tap the card and reinserting the card into the chip card reader does nothing.

How do I emulate a tap or straight up disable that tap the key again verification? The Windows Security dialog is shown below:
