Solution:

Check if any password manager browser extension is in use. In that case, the password manager extension is intercepting all possible authentication credentials, as the browser itself is prompting for authentication.

 

To add a new FIDO key, it is necessary to disable the extension in Chrome.  There should be a possibility in some extensions in the settings to exempt certain URLs where FIDO might be used.
