They don't make this very obvious but this only works in Chrome. So you'll have to use SMS codes, the Authenticator app, or backup codes everywhere else. (edit: they explicitly say so when activating it but not as clearly in the docs)

Heh, Microsoft seems better than Google to support Linux in new products now. VS Vode is amazing, as is dotnet core.

Who would have thought 5 years ago.

I suspect they just don't want to do tech support for Bluetooth in Linux on random hardware. Can't blame them.

Of course they do. This is the “embrace” phase.

I could see an argument about WSL being that. But making your software work on the linux desktop/server? I really don't see how that lets you get into a position toward extinguishing anything.

Especially not when they have open sourced it under a liberal license.

Not really, that's because Windows Server isn't that popular and if they want developers to remain on Windows and still use MS tech for their deployment they need some sort of Linux support.
