Is there a way to disable passkeys in Windows 11?

Even with Bluetooth turned off you’ll get the popup. You need to disable Bluetooth in the BIOS to avoid this. If windows has any awareness of the system being capable of Bluetooth it’ll ask for a passkey.

Good info Jefronty, I don't get the popup on Windows 10, so didn't know the details.

Hopefully the poster receives a notification of your post, since I'm not sure whether new posters receive only those directly replying to their own posts, as I never mark threads or posts for notification.

Bartosz Tylek,

Read my post on the 3rd page of the thread just above yours (Click the number 3 beneath the word Replies just after the first post). I explained how to stop the popup using Bluetooth, which is the only advertised way I've seen that doesn't require drastic measures.

I already use passkeys with a 3rd party password manager. The awful Windows 11 passkey popup interferes with it and there is currently no way to transfer passkeys from a password manager to another location (e.g. Windows Hello). If anyone knows how to disable the popup please reply. Thanks.

Jon Lobatto,

The simple way I've heard to suppress the Windows passkey dialog box is to disable Bluetooth, since that's required to establish the phone's proximity to the device in order for a passkey to be accessed from an external device like a smartphone which supports this, so only the locally stored passkeys within Windows 11 can effectively be used which remove the need for the dialog.

I haven't heard whether this works from either end of the connection, but I'd think it should, so if you don't typically use Bluetooth with your PC then disabling that might work, while it's often required for phone accessories. If it can be quickly toggled on or off, then it might still work even if it's only occasionally needed for some other purpose or when you leave the house with the phone for example.

I don't recall if any other options have been discovered, but I'd think they'd be far more disruptive than even disabling Bluetooth if they do.

What to do if i'm using chrome?

Thank you.

What if you add a Passkey in Settings > Accounts > Passkeys? Technically, if you add a passkey, it should show on the prompt.

Hope that helps, and rely on us for any further inquiries. All the best.
