Android 15 - Cannot set default password app

Google Workspace would need to implement the APIs released for 15 as it's a default-disable. Lizzie could probe for answers internally but if you have an active support agreement with them you'll encourage a better response by reaching out as it increases demand generation for their product folks.

So I've received a note that Google Workspace has an internal feature request (381410766) to create a policy setting for the credentialProviderPolicy field. This field was optional in A14 but became mandatory in A15. Apparently, this policy change has caught Workspace completely flat footed, as the timeline for the feature request was said to be "...a few months" from now (even though I raised it when A15 was released). Apparently, we'll all be on A16 by the time Google Workspace realizes that there's been a security change in the Android requirements.

The answer that I was given by Google was to turn off passkey usage and simply use 2SV. I assume that Google also recommends us using simple, memorable passwords since we can't use the high-entropy passwords that password managers allow us to use. I'm going to use "hunter2" since I seem to remember it really easily.

I do have a suggestion for the developers: there's this really cool new AI coding tool called "Gemini" by a company, I can't remember who it is but I'm sure they have the highest security standards. Maybe ask it, something like: "Provide me with the necessary code to enable changing the credentialProviderPolicy under the Android Management API". A few questions later, and you'll probably have everything you need.
