Ability to disable prompt for biometric setup

I would like the option to permanently stop Atera from asking me to set up biometric logins. I already reset my mfa because it was a significant number of clicks to skip the biometric login and use TOTP instead. Now that I have done this, it still requires an excessive number of clicks to login to the admin console because you have to dismiss the requests to set up biometric login.

    Basically, it's an extra click with the potential to send me down a "please let us access your devices" rabbit hole that I ultimately have to undo. Biometrics are a "nice to have" when they work, but even hashed with a device, my dead body/dismembered finger can unlock my phone and Atera. It's less secure, and I don't want to use it, and I would like to not be forced to continually explain that decision to a security focused crowd.
