Whether or not a passkey will be the only way to login to a specific website will depend on each individual website and how they setup passkeys. For Google specifically, you can add a passkey as an option but you can still login using other methods such as a username and password.
We're in the early days of passkey adoption, most websites will likely offer multiple ways to sign in (especially for account recovery) for quite some time.
