An interesting solution could be to first enter the username, then the OTP/Key, then the password. I haven't given it a lot of thought and can't find anything wrong with it.

Like GP said, that would give away which accounts have WebAuthn enabled on them, since those without it would send you straight to the password prompt instead.

But more importantly, phishing sites will always tell you 'your key succeeded. Enter your password next' regardless, so this doesn't protect against password disclosure at all.
