When using a keyfile and not having it remember the file, there are extra steps required to log in, more than necessary. The "Auto-open promp" option results in the prompt opening for entering biometrics/pattern/etc, but entering that doesn't work until the keyfile is selected, so it must be backed out of, then the file needs to be selected, then the biometrics button pressed to open that back. Of course, the above option can be disabled to prevent having to close that screen, but it could be better.

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

There are a couple possible solutions. One would be a separate option like the one above to open it after selecting the keyfile. Another would be to allow entering the login then selecting the keyfile and having it login at that point.
