Windows Hello Interrupting Bitwarden passkey Authentication - firefox

Hey guys,

I have a few passkeys stored in Bitwarden, and everything was working perfectly until a couple of days ago.
Since then, every time a website sends a passkey request, it gets intercepted by Windows Security / Windows Hello – which I never set up in the first place and have zero interest in using.

(Example screenshot attached)

Of course if I click “Cancel” the request gets denied.

My setup:

  • Windows 11

  • Firefox 145.0.2 (64-bit)

  • Bitwarden 2025.11.1

I’ve searched around but the only “solution” I can find is disabling passkeys completely in Firefox with security.webauthn.enable_webauthn = false – which obviously defeats the whole purpose.

Any ideas how to force Firefox/Bitwarden to handle passkeys again instead of Windows Hello stealing them?

Thanks!
