Recently, on a Windows 11 Pro 24H2 machine I kept getting a technical error from Firefox version 145 whenever I attempt to use hardware 2FA. This happened with every account that use a yubikey as a 2FA (non-discoverable) This did not happen if I used edge. This also did not happen with a different Windows Pro machine with identifical Firefox and windows version.
After a lot of debugging, I discovered the issue to be a setting in Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Passkey. Under "Let Apps create and use Passkey", a new entry for the site was added. If you toggle the setting for firefox to off You can't use hardware 2FA. No prompt to press the Yubikey will appear and it will just fail with an error. What is weird is that this entry only appear on one machine but not the other. There is no GUI to add or remove the entry. In addition, no entry show up for Edge, only Firefox.
I am puzzled by this inconsistency with different machine and different app? Is there some sort of setting that controls this?
