Duplicate entry for phone security key

I somehow managed to add my phone as a security key twice. Could someone tell me how I remove the second one with "(1)" at the end?

Where do I even manage the keys that I add here?

    Looks like you may need to use the Windows 11 Phone Link app to remove the old Pixel phone device, which should remove it as an option to authenticate as well.

     You can just search for the Phone Link app, it displayed on my Windows 10 device even though it indicates you must have a Windows 11 device to link the Android phone.

    Delete all existing security keys in Windows Security Settings, then re-add them once to resolve the duplicate display issue.
