You're encountering a security warning popup that prompts you to log in with a passkey or PIN, likely tied to Amazon. This behavior appears to be a feature of the Amazon website itself, possibly triggered by browser extensions like Ghostery and uBlock Origin. It's not a Windows system prompt but rather a security measure from the site. To stop it, you can disable extensions temporarily, clear your browser cache, or adjust your browser settings to prevent such prompts. If you need further help, a screenshot will be useful.

You're asking whether to opt for passwordless login using a passkey instead of the usual password. Each time you see such a notification, you usually choose "no" and keep going. However, this trend is gaining attention because Microsoft is pushing passwordless options as the new standard in Windows 11, calling it "phishing proof." Despite concerns about session token security, many users prefer to stay with their current method. If you notice these alerts, simply decline and continue your usual process, as they can't force a change.

Yes, this happens on my workstation. I just hit cancel and go on with work as @demonix00 says. I think there is another website besides Amazon where this happens but cannot remember right now.

There’s no permanent fix for these popups. You can avoid them by blocking the source or using website settings, which will stop them from appearing again.
