Describe the Bug

When logging into an account that is using a physical security key for MFA, the browser window asks to insert the key. However, the integrated web browser does not seem to support this function as it does not prompt me to press the button. Additionally, the "Sign in with Passkey" method does not work. FWIW, the security key I am using is a YubiKey 5 NFC.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Cider 2 through Flatpak
2. Launch Cider with flatpak run sh.cider.genten
3. Log in to the Apple account with a security key
4. Click either "Sign in with Password" and be prompted for a security key or "Sign in with passkey". Clicking continue does not ask for the key to be pressed.

Anything else?

I cant speak for the Flatpak release, but the Deb and AppImage release work fine with my yk5c. I'd imagine there something that has to be set for flatpak. The direct sign in with passkey option does not work due to Electron not supporting those kinds of passkey, however security keys do work.

I can confirm that the Deb version of the app worked with the security key
Thank you :)
