I recently logged into a website that seemed fraudulent using my Google account, and I'm worried about the potential risks involved since we're now using passkeys. Is it safe, and what steps should I take to secure my account and prevent any issues? Also, is there a way to use my Mac to fix this?

Definitely change all your passwords and set up two-factor authentication (2FA) if you haven't already. If you have any payment methods linked to your Google account, remove those ASAP. Better to be cautious! Just make sure your recovery information is up to date as well.
It really depends on what actions you took when you logged in. To be safe, I recommend revoking permissions for that site in your Google account settings and changing your password immediately. It's also a good idea to update passwords for other accounts that use the same credentials, just to be safe.
It really depends on how you logged in. If you used their OAuth system, you may be fine. But if they somehow tricked you into relogging into your Google account, it could be more serious. Always better to take precautions, just in case!
Go to https://myaccount.google.com/connections and remove access for that dodgy site, along with any other applications you don’t recognize. It's a quick way to cut off any unwanted access.
