Worked at Google and can confirm if you typed your password into a non org website you were flagged and asked to reset your PW. The problem is some of the training websites Google used and were Google branded were apparently non org websites. But it shows they are looking for "certain key strokes"
My employer does the same over a proxy. Luckily it can't breach HTTPS, but it was annoying to set all my APs and router and switches and other network nodes to HTTPS just because the damn thing would block the site the moment I sent my password in cleartext to a local device...
What does that mean? HTTPS is a client-server thing, your APS and switches don't really have anything to do with that.
Setting their management interfaces to be accessed via https because the VPN blocks (after snooping on) http only access would be my guess
