MacBook Pro 16" 2019 running out of 64GB memory because of Passwords app

After some inactive hours, I logged in and got out of memory because of the Passwords App, which should not take too much memory, no hard processing is needed unless something else is running behind this and everyone doesn't know.

I have an i9 CPU, 64GB of RAM, MacOs Sequoia 15.1

MacBook Pro 16″

It doesn't look like a problem with Passwords. It looks like a problem with Google. Google has various integrations with Calendar and Contacts and those seem to work very poorly. You can find many reports of this specific problem here in the forums. For whatever reason, in Sequoia, this is now showing up as heavy VM use in Passwords. EtreCheck is showing that it's still the same old Calendar/Contacts bug.
