Google's really jumping the gun on passkeys
If you've used, or been using, the built-in security key present on
iPhones alongside Google Workspace you're being force marched into
passkey on Google Workspace too. Drop dead date is December 1, 2023.
Better still, the announcement (received by me on June 5th at 0716
PDT) states that today, June 5th, they're supported for Workspaces.
However, when you go to attempt to do as they're forcing you to do,
and create a passkey, that management page indicates they're NOT
allowed on Google Workspace accounts.
Would've been a LOT smarter to make sure the rollout was completed to
Workspace prior to mass mailing Workspace people. Even better is
there was NO contact to admins about this, they just emailed all your
users directly so now your support staff is going to get hit with
questions they might not have answers for.
I guess we're supposed to just add it to the pile of not very well
planned or thought out moves throughout this whole passkey rollout.
