Google allows for them to be used for 2FA.

You can use them for the password also which I didn't know. You have to choose sign in another way to get the option.

That's after you already have a passkey. I don't think you can create a passkey without a different form of 2FA. At least...you shouldn't be able to, because that would kind of defeat the purpose.
