My understanding of passkeys was that they replace passwords, but a few places where I’ve seen them implemented just use passkeys as a second factor, NOT a replacement for passwords themselves.

Can anyone who knows more about passkeys explain why this is the case? Are service providers just misusing passkeys as the second factor, or do I misunderstand passkeys?
