Unusable

I cannot login without using a passkey that I have never created. I click to use another method to login, and it only gives me the option to use a passkey. Tell me, how am I supposed to use a passkey that doesn’t exist? How have you just decided to lock me out of my own account even though I have all imaginable credentials to this account minus a non-existent passkey?

Works fine for me

Not sure if it’s just me but it works fine and I guess barely anyone uses it to rate new ratings

Terrible

It doesn’t work. Incredibly hard to setup and make use of it therefore not useful.

absolutely not

google simply does NOT need access to every bluetooth device I own. I will NEVER use this utility. time to switch to Tuta, or Proton, I think!

Worst thing Google has made

I miss the old two factor. This garbage and Google alike think that I’m going to somehow scan a QR code to sign into my email while I’m holding my phone as if my front facing camera can scan a code on my screen. I can’t sign into anything hardly without going through an endless loop of garbage. Negative stars if possible
