Research.gov insists I insert a passkey into my USB

I can login to research.gov on Chrome using biometrics, but Firefox is locked into demanding a passkey I don't have. How can I reset it so it offers the biometrics option?

I tried typing about:config in my Firefox address, searching for security.webauthn.enable_macos_passkeys, then setting the value to false, but that didn't work.

So then I searched for security.webauth.webauthn and set it to false but that didn't work.
