A) read the article, paying particular attention to the screenshots therein (ESPECIALLY particularly to the user experience on an Apple device), and
B) noted the part of my comment where I say that I should be able to set the choice of using hardware keys one time instead of needing to do so every time I create a new credential?
Today it's so hard to use a hardware key with Google Play Services that I (a software developer who actually works in this field) have had users tell me their phone didn't let them do it at all. In reality, the support was there, is was just so unusable they didn't even understand they had that option.
