BTW, when the Big Tech bros wax poetic about eliminating passwords by requiring passkeys, you can bet they probably don't deal with anyone who doesn't have a phone and whose only access to the Internet is public computers like in libraries. And please don't suggest that someone who may have all their possessions in a shopping cart carry and use a Yubikey (even if USB ports weren't blocked on public computers, as they often are). The Bros often don't have a clue about the real world.

@lauren while I was on vacation I tried to log into Google via passkey (to follow peoples map pins.) It didn't accept it (??) Every time I entered the password it knocked me back to the screen to enter the passkey. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

My own fault for enabling a technology I didn't fully understand at the time.

Even worse that google ignored you as a .probably normal user without domain specific knowledge, ie how passkey works and doesn't work. They ought to know better. Now they want to force a feature?!

I'd say shame on them, except I think these days, they don't care. By they, I mean c-suite. If I didn't know better, I'd think it is an exit strategy,... First replace or reduce all the users. .

This.

This is why I have refused to even attempt to set up pass keys so far.
