If you have a smart phone and want to use these apps, then so be it.
But for those of us out there who do not have a smartphone we are stuffed.
I have a mobile phone that has no internet access, no camera..it can make a call and it can text....but nothing else. And I am not alone...there are a lot of people who do not need to be forever connected to the internet via a smartphone.
Where does that leave us.
as for asking what the difference is between the details on a smartphone and a passport...there is a big difference...the passport is unlikely to get hacked(in normal use) and I am not going to be asked for my passport unless I am leaving or entering the country.
