After upgrading to macOS 26, Google Chrome keeps asking me to give access to card information. Is it some security issue or is it a bug? I tried to give access and also cancelled many times, but this pops up very hour or so.
"Touch ID to Access Card Information"
"Enter the password for the user "[MY NAME]" to allow this.
Mac mini, macOS 26.0
It's requesting your password to access stored payment information. You can manage that here:

Bigger picture, Chrome is a notorious resource hog on Macs. Installing it also installs multiple ‘helpers’ from Google that run in the background, and their purpose is not to help you but to help Google (keep in mind that Google’s primary source of revenue is using your data to drive targeted advertising). Even if you aren’t running the Chrome app, those system extensions are always running in the background. I’d recommend deleting Chrome and all related components.
If you are looking for something other than Safari, consider Firefox or Brave (the latter is based on Chrome code but without the Google baggage).
