Polkit-gnome doesn't allow password fallback

System details

AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, Omarchy 2.1.0

What's wrong?

When polkit-gnome is presented, for example when unlocking 1Password, it asks for a fingerprint first. However, when the laptop lid is shut, and you're using an external keyboard without fingerprint sensor, there is no way to get past the fingerprint prompt except for waiting long enough until the fingerprint prompt times out and a password field is shown.

The cancel button on the polkit-gnome prompt doesn't seem to do anything.
