Google is looking to make passwords obsolete by prompting users to create passkeys to unlock accounts and devices with a fingerprint, face scan or pin number.

    How much data will they be taking from sites that use this?

      No more than they already can through passwords. Passkeys are a generalized authentication standard, you can use it with any compatible software (not just Google products). More options are a good thing.
