Best Answer

Is there an online resource about virtually anything and everything? Why yes, it's Wikipedia! More specifically:

Information contained in passports: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometric_passport (see also ICAO Document 9303 if you really want to know everything about passport standards)
Security features can be found under the entries for individual passports, eg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_passport#Security_features_2
- For the European Union, PRADO is a great resource with data and pictures. For example, here are all the public security features of the current Irish passport.
Passport validity around the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passport_validity
...and lots and lots more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Passports
