I am very firm that I do not want to switch out of S mode due to my recent past experiences. Here is the screen I'm seeing that I want to remove the device showing from:These are the details of what windows I'm running:Your help would be greatly appreciated.Thank You Kindly In Advance For Your

    How do I Remove an Old Device from windows security passkey prompt?

    Okay, So I managed to add my phone again but it's coming up as a duplicate?? and it errors out (the error on my phone says try another verification open error 105) on my phone when trying to use it. I assume this is because the the old phone entry. I see my newer phone passkey on my account page but I don't see the one that.

    here is a screenshot of my security page showing the NEW passkey from my phone and my yubikey but the other one is missing:

    Here the screenshot from the prompt now. I need to remove the one with a red circle. the blue circle is the new key seen in the previous screenshot:

    Disable "iPhone, iPad, or Android device" option for Passkey Sign-in

    Ok, so it is not that you already have that set up and have scanned the QR code using your mobile device, but you've been using security key instead, and now this pop up creates an extra step for you, because you have to click the security key option manually, is that right?

    In that case, then no, the website will not be listed in the passkey section. And also there's no way to default the security key over the passkey. I am afraid this is something that will have to go to Feedback hub (Windows +F).

    Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Mobile

    Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.
