I regularly need to log into a website which requires 2FA and for which I have enabled a passkey with Windows Hello using fingerprint or face recognition. However, whenever I use it, the Windows Security dialog shows up in the background. I then have to use the taskbar to select it before I am able to authenticate.

How can I make this dialog open in the foreground?

Windows Hello dialog

I use Firefox most of the time, but I observe the same behavior with Chrome or Edge.

I am using Windows 11 23H2 build 22631.4169. I have admin rights on the machine.

I have noticed other people having similar issues with Bitwarden and Windows Terminal without a proper solution (the latter contains links to old Windows 10 updates but I assume they are not relevant to me).

As a workaround/solution for this issue, I’m now using Hellofy developed by GitHub user @ados8, who had commented about it on the Bitwarden issue I linked in the question.

After reviewing their code, I rebuilt the .exe myself with AutoIt so that I don’t need to worry about an untrusted executable found online.
