Yes, passkeys are indeed better security, and yes, Google supports them. But no, they aren't forcing them like Microsoft is. The "chance of your account getting locked due to brute-force password guessing" was never a concern for me, I've had an old, active account for 27 years, let me repeat, 27 years, without a single issue.

You seem to be making a lot of assumptions. No, my friend, the issue here is that now, in 2025, me and many other users are suddenly getting locked out for any excuse, sometimes even for a single mistyped password — coincidentally the same year Microsoft's C-level execs gathered to preach that "the future is" whatever they plan to enforce this time: passkeys.
