The latter will allow‘erase easily and quickly all passwords and registered passkeys, without having to go through circuitous methods.

For example, it is possible to use Chrome to erase all your browsing data over a defined period, but this also deletes other information, such as history or cookies. With the button “Delete all data“, Google’s password manager would offer a much simpler and faster solution, without touching your other data.
