Hello,
A lot of websites lately when I try to login give me this popup that interrupts and delays my normal login:
This makes it seem like I have no choice but to set this up, when I do, I could just simply exit out (sometimes a few times in a row) and continue using my more reliable, simplistic and secure login method.
How can I permanently disable these prompts? And why does Microsoft make it seem like I have no choice but to set this up, and refuse to tell me how they even work? Was this thought out at all?
I've already logged out of my online Microsoft Account and turned it into a Local Account while trying to troubleshoot this obnoxious problem but I am still getting these unwanted prompts on a constant basis.
I did find these settings in Edge:
But for some reason the passkey has been tied to autofilling passwords. I do want passwords to autofill, but I do not want passkeys to interrupt my logins.
I looked in the edge://flags section, but there didn't seem to be anything that had to do with passkeys there.

... comes from the website you are visiting; it does not come from Microsoft. The part that comes from Windows ...
... is an automatic reaction when Windows detects that the website is offering you a passkey.
As far as I know, there's no way to prevent individual websites from prompting you to setup a passkey. You'll probably see this more and more as websites adapt to passkeys which are, after all, a more secure way to sign in to websites.

It destroys anonymity and is a security nightmare by tying everything you do to every box you touch. Microsoft IS forcing this by telling browsers the feature is available and not allowing us to disable it. You have no control over the computer you own, you have to do what your betters want you to do. Its like they want everyone moving to Linux. I will never give Microsoft my id, I will never use passkeys. Deal with it.

If I forget my phone because it isn't something I have to have I am f'd and locked out of everything. If I am using a password that is secure it really isn't because of MFA or Passkey having to be used. It is a shame we live in a world that has come to the situation that a security option runs our life and how we live. Asl long as I can I will fight against a passkey usage.

As most of us know, this is a new authentication method. That was announced by
MSoft and Google and other, high tech social media companies. in my case
I dislike the facial and finger prints to login in my devices. So, in my
cellphone I use a Paskey. To make easy to type & remember
I input the PIN used to unlock my phone. So, far no
issues. Also on my PC I used a Pin too. Learn
