Use my OS browser (Installed Chrome) to authenticate to an email account

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to authenticate to my corporate email, which uses Google Mail, but I'm having some issues due to the security requirements. To authenticate to the email, I need to confirm the authentication with a Passkey, which I use the Bitwarden password manager. When I try to authenticate the email in Thunderbird, it opens a "browser" window where I should provide my email, password, and confirmation through Passkey. As this "browser" doesn't have the Bitwarden extension installed and is impossible to install, I cannot confirm the login.

Is there a way to change a configuration on Thunderbird instead of opening its browser, opening the browser installed in my OS where I have the Bitwarden extension installed, and logging in to confirm the login through Passkey? This behavior is the one used by Mailspring to authenticate an email account.
