I just tried configuring this on a new Windows 10 laptop (Dell XPS 13). I'm by no means an IT expert, but it seems painful to get working. I had to first setup a local Windows account. Then install Google's GCPW software. After that, I had to make changes in the Registery Editor -- a place I haven't had to visit in many years. I then had to logout of the local account and then select "Add work account" from the Windows 10 lock screen to login with a Google Account. I setup Windows Hello fingerprint login, however it doesn't seem to allow signing in with this method meaning I need to use a password everytime! The whole setup process is just too outdated. Does anyone know how to automate all of this? Meanwhile on Chrome OS, I can just hand a device to someone and they can login with their G Suite account in 30 seconds. No configuration needed.

Use a MDM solution to enroll the device with all the settings on it.

The usual way is to use the Windows unattended installation tools to create an image which has everything included - I'm assuming this is how this is supposed to be used. IT in your organization just puts a prepared image on your computer. That imshr will automatically have everything you need installed including this plugin and its registry changes. I've scrolled down the install guide and there seems to be also a PS script that sets up the registry keys for you so you can probably do remote unattended install as well.

Yeh that's for IT to roll out for you with MDT, group policy, Azure or a myriad of other MDM solutions. It's not an end user product. Missing windows hello, so I presume other smart logins like cards is going to make this a non-starter for a lot of orgs.
