I would very much like not to use it but I am forced by my employer, including to divulge sensitive info like my passport.

Yes, you have read that right. I was forced to make a zoom call and hold my passport open to the camera. No, they wouldn't accept a scan and an email, or even a call through Jitsi. This is a major public institution with a 200+ strong IT department consuming millions of pounds a year. This is the moronic "enterprise" stuff those millions of pounds buy.

The same issue is present if simply transit through Hong Kong International Airport.

The government of China border guards scan everybody's passport details.

It's unfortunate that a passport number is a form of ID.
