M365, Entra ID, Google Password Manager Passkeys

I went into my tenant, opened the Entra ID Admin, and enabled passkeys (fido2) authentication.  I want to use Google Password manager since it will work across al my devices/platforms (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS). 

I went into the security settings for Microsoft 365 account to add an authentication method.  I am happy to say that "passkey" is listed as an option, so I created a new passkey in Google Chrome/Password Manager and named it after my userid in the tenant.  To test it, I logged out and attempted to log in using the passkey.  The option came up, but Microsoft complained it was not a valid key.  I tried again stating that I would my phone for the key and scanned the QR code but my phone said there is no passkey I would need to create one.  How do I solve this?

 

BTW: I did add Google's AAGUID in the Entra admin and allowed it but that did not solve the issue.

    Thank you: I had a feeling Microsoft is not fully supporting Google Password Manager.  Any idea on when full support may be implemented?

    To my understanding, Google Password Manager passkeys are not yet fully supported for Microsoft Entra ID/Microsoft 365 sign-in. Even if you add Google’s AAGUID in Entra admin, Entra ID currently only supports synced passkeys from certain providers (Apple iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager via Chrome/Android) under specific conditions, and cross‑device use is limited, learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/authentication/how-to-synced-passkeys
