Hello authentication in apps always defaults to fingerprint

Adding my voice here—same issue. Like antonz44​  and vhw04​ , I have both face and fingerprint configured, and the login screen works perfectly with both methods active simultaneously. But in-app Hello prompts always default to fingerprint, forcing the "More choices" → Face workflow every time.

KapilArya​ the registry tweak for default sign-in option doesn't resolve this—it only affects the login screen, not in-app authentication requests. The registry is already set to face on my system as well.

Microsoft, this seems like a straightforward gap: the Windows Security dialog for in-app auth doesn't respect the same preference hierarchy as the login screen. Either let us set a preferred biometric method in Settings, or have in-app prompts mirror login behavior by activating both sensors simultaneously.

This thread is almost a year old now with no official solution. Would appreciate some visibility from the product team.
