Is there a way to disable passkeys in Windows 11?

I've been using a security key (Yubikiey) for years as 2FA on several accounts. It used to work very easily, I'd type in my credentials, then simply touch the Yubikey and be logged in. Now for about a month, since a Windows update, after entering my credentials I'm prompted whether I want to use a mobile device or a security key, I need to click 'security key' and then click 'Next' before touching my Yubikey. Is there any way to have my computer or web browser default to security key or is there a way to disable passkey (mobile device) entirely?

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.

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.
