I'm trying to configure Task Scheduler in Windows 11 with Microsoft's new push for passwordless options, but it keeps asking me for a password. Did Microsoft forget to update Task Scheduler for this?

For scheduled tasks, managed service accounts are the way to go when you're looking for a passwordless setup. They automatically handle passwords for you, making it easier to run tasks without constantly entering credentials.

You might want to try using Windows Hello to authenticate instead. Some users have had success with that. Just make sure your device supports it.
