Repeated request for certificate by Firefox Focus (latest update), Android

After updating to the latest version, the following occurs when I login to microsoftonline.com:

1. I enter my username and password at the prompts provided by Microsoft.

2. Instead of going directly to the page requiring that I enter the code generated by an authentication app I get a pop-up window asking me to choose a certicate: "The firefox Focus app has requested a certificate...The app has identified the requesting server as microsoftonline.com." The two choices offered are gak_ec_alias and gak_rsa_alias.

3. If I pick the right one, the process proceeds to authentication and login successfully.

The problem is that this now happens every single time I login. I've been using firefox Focus for several years and I can never recall this happening before. Perhaps there was somehting wrong with the update? I'd be grateful if this could be investigated.
