in Use Power Automate to Notify of Upcoming Azure AD App Client Secrets and Certificate Expirations on Oct 18 2021 06:23 AM

@Chris Sledge @Chris954 Can you check if using EnableFIDODeviceLogon OR UseSecurityKeyForSignIn makes a difference. As mentioned in 4.4 you need to enable only one. As these options enable the fido login option your problem might be related to how these are (not) applied. It's just a guess.
